In Pixar's Cars, Chick Hicks is the first car to win the Piston Cup after a three-way tie.
The final race of Cars ends with Lightning McQueen, Chick Hicks, and The King tied on points. The result leads to an unprecedented tiebreaker race in California. Chick wins after Lightning stops to help The King cross the finish line, allowing Chick to take the championship while Lightning earns wider respect.
Chick is the film's main racing rival. He is aggressive, publicity-focused, and willing to use dangerous tactics, including forcing competitors into crashes. His green body carries the number 86, and Michael Keaton voices him in the English version.
Many viewers remember Lightning as the story's emotional winner, but Chick is the official Piston Cup winner of that season. Lightning's decision to help The King is why he loses the race yet becomes the character most admired by the racing community.
