In Pixar’s Cars, which sponsor is painted on Chick Hicks’s green racing car?

In Pixar’s Cars, Chick Hicks’s green racing car is sponsored by Hostile Takeover Bank.

Chick Hicks is Lightning McQueen’s principal rival during the Piston Cup season. His sponsor lettering appears across his green body, while his racing number is 86. Chick is portrayed as aggressive and willing to use dangerous tactics to gain positions, contrasting with McQueen’s changing attitude and The King’s sportsmanship.

Hostile Takeover Bank is a fictional sponsor created for the Cars universe. The name is a financial joke: a hostile takeover is a corporate attempt to acquire a company against the wishes of its management. It suits Chick’s pushy personality and his role as an antagonist.

Chick is sometimes confused with other fictional racers because the films feature many sponsor brands. Rust-eze sponsors Lightning McQueen, Dinoco is connected with The King and later McQueen, and Octane Gain is another racing sponsor seen in the Piston Cup world.
