Chick Hicks wins the Piston Cup in Pixar's Cars after the final race is restarted.
The first film's championship finale ends with Lightning McQueen, Chick Hicks, and The King crossing the finish line in a three-way tie. Because the result cannot stand, the racers are sent to a tiebreaker race at the Los Angeles International Speedway.
Lightning is leading near the finish when he turns back to help The King, who has been wrecked by Chick. That choice costs Lightning the race. Chick crosses the line first, while Lightning refuses to accept the trophy because Chick's victory came after unsportsmanlike conduct.
Chick is a green race car sponsored by Hostile Takeover Bank. He serves as Lightning's main rival in Cars and is characterized by aggressive driving and a fixation on beating The King. The film distinguishes winning the race from earning the respect associated with being a champion.
