In Pixar's Cars, Chick Hicks is Lightning McQueen's main rival in the 2006 Piston Cup season.
Chick Hicks is a green veteran racer sponsored by Hostile Takeover Bank. He has spent years behind the legendary Strip “The King” Weathers and resents the attention given to McQueen, a newcomer who quickly becomes a serious championship contender.
Hicks is characterized by aggressive driving and a willingness to use unfair tactics. During the decisive race, he deliberately wrecks The King while fighting McQueen for position. McQueen then gives up a chance to win immediately so that The King can finish his final race with dignity.
Hicks wins the Piston Cup after McQueen stops to help The King, but the victory is treated as hollow. The film's ending emphasizes sportsmanship rather than the official result alone.
