In Pixar’s Cars, who wins the 2006 Piston Cup season finale?
Answer
Chick Hicks
In Pixar’s Cars, Chick Hicks wins the 2006 Piston Cup season finale.
The finale is held at the Los Angeles International Speedway after Lightning McQueen, Chick Hicks, and defending champion The King arrive with the championship at stake. Lightning is leading when he stops to help The King after Chick causes The King to crash.
Chick crosses the finish line first, but the victory is overshadowed by his deliberate and unsportsmanlike driving. Lightning refuses the Piston Cup because he believes The King deserves to finish his career with dignity. The sponsor Dinoco then offers Lightning its new racing contract, while Chick receives the cup.
A common mix-up is saying that Lightning wins the race. He wins the respect of the crowd and receives Dinoco’s support, but Chick is the official race winner.
