In Pixar's Cars, Chick Hicks wins the 2006 Piston Cup race at the film's climax.
The ending is more complicated than a conventional victory. Chick deliberately crashes The King, who is competing in his final race, and Lightning McQueen stops before the finish line to help the injured veteran.
Because Lightning refuses to accept a victory obtained through Chick's unsportsmanlike move, Chick crosses the line first and is awarded the Piston Cup. Lightning receives widespread respect for his decision, while Chick is booed by the crowd.
Chick Hicks is voiced by Michael Keaton. The King, whose real name is Strip Weathers, is voiced by racing legend Richard Petty, giving the finale an additional connection to American stock-car culture.
