'''Chick Hicks''' is the main antagonist of Pixar's 7th full-length animated feature film ''[[Cars]]'' and a minor character in its second sequel, ''[[Cars 3]]'', no longer being an antagonist, due to [[Jackson Storm]] taking his place. | |||
He is a cocky, self-centered retired [[Piston Cup Racing Series|Piston Cup]] racer. As a racer he was aggressive, often intentionally damaging or interfering with other cars in hopes of a better finish. He is well recognized for the hundreds of stickers that cover his body and the large grille that looks much like a mustache. His number is 86, and he was sponsored by [[HtB]]. HtB was later represented by [[Rowdy Revvin' Busch]] who is considered Chick’s successor. In ''Cars 3,'' he hosts [[Chick's Picks with Chick Hicks]]. | |||

[[ | In ''[[Cars]]'', Chick is among the thirty-six race cars that are competing in the final race of the Piston Cup season at the [[Motor Speedway of the South]]. Before The King overtook Chick, Chick hits [[Lee Revkins]]. [[Darrell Cartrip]] and [[Bob Cutlass]] introduce him to the audience as the "runner-up" to [[The King|Strip Weathers "The King"]]. Shortly after, when [[Lightning McQueen]] overtakes him in the race, Chick pushes Lightning against the wall, causing him to spin into the field, in front of a group of RVs, who cheer Lightning on. | ||

However, he is not fast enough, and the race results in the first three-way tie in Piston Cup history, between Lightning, Chick, and The King. As officials are unable to determine a victor, a tie-breaker race is set to be held at the [[Los Angeles International Speedway]]. | ||
As Lightning, Chick, and The King are on the winners' podium, Chick makes a bet with McQueen to see who can reach Los Angeles first, with the winner receiving the [[Dinoco]] sponsor and paint job. Because of this, Lightning convinces his hauler, [[Mack]], to drive through the night in order to reach the speedway first. However, Mack is unable to do this and drifts off to sleep.

Four tuned up cars named [[Boost]], [[Wingo]], [[DJ]], and [[Snot Rod]], causes trouble on [[Interstate 40]], driven up to Mack and messed around with him, and it caused Mack to move all over the place, to the point where one figurine fell on the trailer button which in return caused Lightning to fall out of his trailer. | ||

When The King blocks him again in order to protect Lightning, Chick flies into a blind rage, and smashes The King against the wall using a PIT maneuver, and The King goes flying and spinning out into the infield, receiving very high damage in the process. Lightning, who is ahead of the two cars, notices this, and stops just before the finish line, mistakenly allowing Chick to pass him and happily win the race, much to the audience's surprise and confusion. McQueen backs up to The King and helps push him to the finish line, believing that he should be able to finish his final race. As Chick happily celebrates his victory, he expects huge ovation but finds out that the crowd are rooting on McQueen instead. | ||

Chick was still considered as the loser even though he reached the goal first, and however, Lightning McQueen and The King were the real winners of the race, since Chick Hicks made a huge mistake for crashing The King. It was a big deal since The King himself was the Dinoco racer until this race. This was why the first race in the film was called the Dinoco 400. [[Tex Dinoco]] offers the Dinoco sponsorship to Lightning instead of Chick, but Lightning reforms himself as he denies it, in favor of the friends he has made while under sponsorship of [[Rust-eze]]. | ||

He became less rude and selfish after the events of ''Cars'', but he still brags about his infamous win and taunts McQueen, meaning he still doesn't really like him, making him more of a trash-talking cyberbully. This however does cement him as a truly irredeemable character, likely meaning he is not sorry for damaging/injuring other cars on purpose, as well as giving the viewer examples that it’s mean to make fun of other people and call them names. | |||

*According to NASCAR rules, the PIT | **86 is even twice of 43, The King's number, because Chick thinks he is better than The King. | ||
*The number of stickers he has on his bodywork imply that he is a sellout. | |||
*According to old scripts, he was supposed to be named '''Chick Murphy'''. | *Chick Hicks mostly served as a warning if McQueen never humbled himself throughout the film. His win and getting booed, as well as his bad attitude also gives the viewer example that bad sportsmanship is wrong and that even if you win, it doesn’t matter regardless. His brief appearance in the third movie also is a representation that he only cares about trophies, fame, winning, and making fun of others, whereas for Lightning McQueen, he put friendship first by helping The King finish his final race, even if it meant allowing his rival to claim victory through dirty methods. | ||
*After Chick added a thundercloud sticker with the letter "C" on his front bumper near the end of the first movie, four stickers were removed in each side. Those being; [[Motor Oil]], [[Spare Mint]], [[Transberry Juice]], and [[Shiny Wax]]. | |||
*A [[Mattel Disney Pixar Cars]] of Chick, along with Lightning McQueen and [[Brush Curber]], appears in one of the exhibit elements at [[The Science Behind Pixar]] exhibition. | |||
*According to NASCAR rules, the PIT maneuver, aggressive driving, and intentionally crashing cars results in penalties - points deductions, fines, and even being suspended for a handful of races. However, Pixar chose to break this rule for the Piston Cup, because if they didn't, there would be no antagonist. This simply implies that the race officials allowed Chick (or any other bad racer) to play dirty just because he's one of the racers in contention of winning the Piston Cup (though it is also possible that they are bribed to not to punish Chick Hicks) and beating The King at his own game until the last moment when he performed an illegal [[PIT maneuver]] on Strip, causing him to spin out of control and tumble onto the infield, receiving heavy damage in the process, this prompting Lightning to help him to cross the finish line, and him to get forced to leave the winner's podium, which is basically the lesson as while McQueen learned that helping others is important than winning, even if it meant a dirty racer winning the Piston Cup, Chick didn't even learn the lesson McQueen did. | |||
*According to old scripts, he was supposed to be named '''Chick Murphy'''. | |||
**This was likely changed to "Hicks" due to another NASCAR-related film also from Disney, which is ''Herbie: Fully Loaded'' where the main antagonist in that film was called "Trip Murphy". The name was presumably changed to spare confusion since the projects had similar backgrounds. | |||
***Chick's voice actor, Michael Keaton, was also in the movie, portraying Maggie Peyton's father, Ray Peyton Sr. | |||
*He never appeared in ''[[Cars 2]]'' for the film series. | *He never appeared in ''[[Cars 2]]'' for the film series. | ||

*As said above, in ''[[Cars 3]]'', the Lightyear logo on his tires were replaced by yellow lettering reading his own name, Chick Hicks. | |||
*In concept art, Chick Hicks' original racing number was 1, and his name was, The Fabulous Floyd. | |||

**Maybe in the movie his high performance engine is inside the hood, but in the game his high performance engine is outside the hood, he was modified. | |||
*Its very possible that [[Racer 13]] racing for [[Nitroade]] (whom is shown in the [[Cars 2005 Teaser Trailer|2005 teaser trailer for ''Cars'']]) is a prototype of Chick Hicks, as the same goes with Racer 57 in the said trailer who is an early design of Lightning Mcqueen. Alongside the fact that the two cars in the latter media apparently have a feud with eachother which same thing goes with McQueen and Chick in the final film. This could also suggest that Nitroade was going to be Chick's sponsor, but was later transferred to [[Aiken Axler]]. | |||
*During Mcqueen's daydream sequence, when the [[Sparkplugs]] attack, if one looks closely, they can see Chick in the corner amongst the many cars driving away in panic. | |||
*If Chick Hicks did win the Dinoco 400 alongside winning the Piston Cup, it is highly likely that Tex would still refuse to sponsor him due to having played dirty in the race and would still be booed for it. It is also likely that if The King did win, he would’ve passed on the Dinoco sponsorship to McQueen or someone else, presumably [[Cal Weathers]] but not Chick Hicks due to having hated him ever since. | |||
*It is unknown if Chick Hicks is actually his real name. His name could somewhat represent that he is a cheater. | |||
*In the Rioplatenese version of ''Cars 3'', he is voiced by Marcos Di Palma, an Argentinian race car driver known for his brash attitude. | |||
*Although Chick appears in Cars 3, the reason he is played by Bob Peterson instead of his original actor, Michael Keaton, is because Keaton was busy doing his work for Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) at the time, which came out less than a month apart from Cars 3. | |||

- "Oh yeah, you want a little forecast? I'll give you a forecast. 100% chance of THUNDER!!!"
- —Chick Hicks, Cars
Chick Hicks is the main antagonist of Pixar's 7th full-length animated feature film Cars and a minor character in its second sequel, Cars 3, no longer being an antagonist, due to Jackson Storm taking his place.
He is a cocky, self-centered retired Piston Cup racer. As a racer he was aggressive, often intentionally damaging or interfering with other cars in hopes of a better finish. He is well recognized for the hundreds of stickers that cover his body and the large grille that looks much like a mustache. His number is 86, and he was sponsored by HtB. HtB was later represented by Rowdy Revvin' Busch who is considered Chick’s successor. In Cars 3, he hosts Chick's Picks with Chick Hicks.
History
Cars
![](/images/thumb/a/af/WinfordBradfordRutherfordCars12.jpg/220px-WinfordBradfordRutherfordCars12.jpg)
In Cars, Chick is among the thirty-six race cars that are competing in the final race of the Piston Cup season at the Motor Speedway of the South. Before The King overtook Chick, Chick hits Lee Revkins. Darrell Cartrip and Bob Cutlass introduce him to the audience as the "runner-up" to Strip Weathers "The King". Shortly after, when Lightning McQueen overtakes him in the race, Chick pushes Lightning against the wall, causing him to spin into the field, in front of a group of RVs, who cheer Lightning on.
McQueen recovers quickly, but Chick, determined to win, hits Winford Bradford Rutherford, which ultimately results in a giant crash consisting of everyone behind him except him, The King, and Lightning McQueen. Much to Chick's annoyance and surprise, Lightning manages to carefully maneuver through the array of out-of-control cars, which makes him the center of attention to the audience.
![](/images/thumb/0/0b/ThreeWayTie.jpg/220px-ThreeWayTie.jpg)
In the final lap of the race, McQueen has an entire lap on Chick and The King, but while rushing to win his race, forgetting to take his tires, causes his two rear tires to blow out, leaving Lightning desperately attempting to make his way to the finish line. However, he is not fast enough, and the race results in the first three-way tie in Piston Cup history, between Lightning, Chick, and The King. As officials are unable to determine a victor, a tie-breaker race is set to be held at the Los Angeles International Speedway.
As Lightning, Chick, and The King are on the winners' podium, Chick makes a bet with McQueen to see who can reach Los Angeles first, with the winner receiving the Dinoco sponsor and paint job. Because of this, Lightning convinces his hauler, Mack, to drive through the night in order to reach the speedway first. However, Mack is unable to do this and drifts off to sleep. Four tuned up cars named Boost, Wingo, DJ, and Snot Rod, causes trouble on Interstate 40, driven up to Mack and messed around with him, and it caused Mack to move all over the place, to the point where one figurine fell on the trailer button which in return caused Lightning to fall out of his trailer.
![](/images/thumb/8/83/Chickmagnet_2.jpg/220px-Chickmagnet_2.jpg)
Hoping to find help, Lightning ends up ripping up the main road of Radiator Springs while in pursuit of the town's local police officer and is sentenced to fix the road, not allowed to leave until it is finished. While doing this, Lightning hears a press report on the radio and has a daydream about Chick winning the Piston Cup and the Dinoco sponsor.
Meanwhile, Chick arrives at the speedway, and all of the attention is put on him, including that of Mia and Tia, two of Lightning's biggest fans, who have changed their attire to green, with large, green "C"s attached to their roofs.
After the press is alerted of McQueen's whereabouts by Doc Hudson, Lightning is taken to the race, where he is distracted by thinking about the new friends he has made. In the middle of a daydream about them, McQueen spins into the field. When returning to the race, Lightning hears a voice on his microphone, which turns about to be Doc, who, along with many of his other friends, are serving as his pit crew.
![](/images/thumb/5/5a/ChickHicks10.jpg/220px-ChickHicks10.jpg)
During the race, things are going smoothly until Chick becomes frustrated about constantly placing behind The King. When The King blocks him again in order to protect Lightning, Chick flies into a blind rage, and smashes The King against the wall using a PIT maneuver, and The King goes flying and spinning out into the infield, receiving very high damage in the process. Lightning, who is ahead of the two cars, notices this, and stops just before the finish line, mistakenly allowing Chick to pass him and happily win the race, much to the audience's surprise and confusion. McQueen backs up to The King and helps push him to the finish line, believing that he should be able to finish his final race. As Chick happily celebrates his victory, he expects huge ovation but finds out that the crowd are rooting on McQueen instead.
These actions take the spotlight away from Chick, and the audience boos him when he comes out on the victory podium, furious about what Chick had done, and eventually began to throw stuff at him. Chick was still considered as the loser even though he reached the goal first, and however, Lightning McQueen and The King were the real winners of the race, since Chick Hicks made a huge mistake for crashing The King. It was a big deal since The King himself was the Dinoco racer until this race. This was why the first race in the film was called the Dinoco 400. Tex Dinoco offers the Dinoco sponsorship to Lightning instead of Chick, but Lightning reforms himself as he denies it, in favor of the friends he has made while under sponsorship of Rust-eze.
Cars: The Videogame
![](/images/thumb/a/a4/ChickCarsGame.jpg/220px-ChickCarsGame.jpg)
In Cars: The Videogame, Chick serves as the primary antagonist of the game's story mode. He is first spotted in the ending cutscene of Doc's Challenge, watching Lightning and Doc practice from a distance, but he drives away once they spot him. Not long after, at the first Piston Cup race of the season at Palm Mile Speedway, Chick and Lightning share some trash-talk with each other, but the race results in Lightning's victory, leaving Chick frustrated.
Shortly after beating Chick at the Motor Speedway of the South, Lightning meets Vince, Barry, Sonny, and Lenny, a gang of race cars from Queens, New York, who are later revealed to be allies of Chick. Around the same time, Sheriff must chase down Chick, Vince, and Boost, who have been speeding around Ornament Valley.
After Lightning beats Chick for the third time at the Sun Valley International Speedway, Chick secretly hires Boost, Wingo, DJ, and Snot Rod to rob Mack while he is transporting McQueen's supplies on the Interstate. After Lightning hears the news and steals his gear back, the cars are arrested, who tell Lightning and Sheriff that they were hired by a "green car with a mustache".
At the fourth Piston Cup at the Smasherville International Speedway, Lightning angrily confronts Chick, who denies his involvement. After McQueen wins the race, Chick becomes distraught for losing the race, and the two decide to settle their conflict in the Radiator Springs Grand Prix, a three-race event consisting of road races in Radiator Springs, Tailfin Pass, and Ornament Valley, followed by the final Piston Cup race at the Los Angeles International Speedway. However, Chick loses all three road races to Lightning, and later at the Los Angeles International Speedway as well.
Chick also appears as an unlockable playable character in the game's Arcade and Versus modes and is unlocked by purchasing him for 10,000 Bonus Points. His stats include 5 for speed, 4 for acceleration, 3 for handling, and 4 for stability.

Cars: Race-O-Rama
In Cars: Race-O-Rama, Lightning and the students of the Doc Hudson Racing Academy are challenging a rivaling school at the Radiator Springs Speedway when they notice that their competitors are rather rough. After the race, Lightning confronts them, but is surprised to learn that they are being taught by none other than Chick. Chick informs him that he and his new allies are planning to win the Race-O-Rama series and shut down Doc's academy, so that all new students will want to join his school instead. Chick even wants to take over Radiator Springs, forcing Lightning to leave.
![](/images/thumb/f/f0/ChickHicksCarsRaceORama.png/220px-ChickHicksCarsRaceORama.png)
Deciding to customize himself for races, Lightning challenges many of Chick's new friends, including the sassy and mean Candice, the silent and angry Stinger, and the tough and confident El Machismo. However, Chick's students have gone through the MotorCo. building in Autovia, which has turned them into VINs, generic race cars that are painted entirely white, save for a barcode on their doors, making them nearly identical in appearance.
Lightning and Chick's final confrontation is at the Radiator Springs Speedway, where Chick shows off his new modifications, but ultimately loses to Lightning. Upset, Chick reveals that he was only using Candice, Stinger, El Machismo, and the VINs to learn how to beat Lightning, and this revelation causes them to apologize to Lightning and befriend him. However, Chick declares that he will return to Radiator Springs to have his revenge.
The World of Cars Online
In The World of Cars Online, Chick could be seen hiding in Big Heartland Speedway. It was rumored that he was the one who sabotaged the track.

![](/images/thumb/1/11/ChickHicksDisneyInfinity.jpg/220px-ChickHicksDisneyInfinity.jpg)
In Disney Infinity, Chick serves as the main antagonist of the Cars: Play Set. Upon arriving in Radiator Springs, Chick stops at Flo's V8 Café, and once Flo asks if he wants to purchase anything, he responds by asking for some jumper cables, claiming that the town is putting him to sleep. Offended, Flo tells him to keep rolling if he does not plan on ordering anything. Angered, Chick challenges the player to the race. If the player wins, Chick angrily drives away, claiming to want a rematch.
Prior to the start of the Radiator Springs International Race Invitation held by Luigi, Chick tells the other competitors that he will be winning the race and tells him that it will be the "last time you'll be seeing my grill." Shortly after, Finn McMissile informs everyone that Fillmore's fuel has recently gone missing, which was suspiciously around the time Chick had arrived in Radiator Springs.
Avoiding the statement, Chick then competes in the race, but after the player wins, smoke is seen coming out of Chick, which has supposedly been caused by Fillmore's fuel. Chick is then taken away by Finn, Ramone and Flo, who want to throw him in the impound lot, fix him up for "Detail My Dents" due to his "ugliness", and paint him red with lightning bolts, respectively. Outraged by the thought of looking like Lightning, Chick wants to just be thrown in the impound lot instead.

General information
Physical description
![](/images/thumb/9/94/ChickHicksCars3.png/220px-ChickHicksCars3.png)
Chick is a 1979 Shyster Cremlin, a fictional car based on and designed after a 1981 Buick Regal in NASCAR form. Chick is painted green, with the number 86 painted on his doors, and has yellow rims. He also has a grille, which serves as a mustache. According to the 2009 Cars Die-Cast Collectors Guide, Chick has a total of over 334 stickers. On his hood, sides, rear and right headlight, he has a logo of his sponsor HtB. In McQueen's nightmare, he gets a Dinoco sponsorship, is repainted blue, has his HtB logos replaced with Dinoco ones, and has less stickers. After his retirement, he becomes an RSN presenter, and his HtB logos are replaced with RSN stickers; "Chick Hicks 86" is now written on his hood instead of HtB, some contingency stickers are removed, and a "PRESS" sticker appears near the "Piston Cup" one. In Cars 3, the Lightyear logo on his tires were also replaced by his own name with yellow lettering, Chick Hicks. Also on the bottom of his doors in Cars 3, there is text saying "Former and Forever Piston Cup Champion".
Personality and traits
![](/images/thumb/d/da/Chick_Hicks_Racing.jpg/220px-Chick_Hicks_Racing.jpg)
Chick is one of the top three best race cars in the Piston Cup, but only reaches the title by being aggressive to fellow racers by wrecking them and sabotaging them (seemingly, the race officials do not even care, they just allow him to play dirty just because he's on the top 3, which is only due to him playing unfairly). He has a bad reputation for his rude racing style, but nonetheless did have a great deal of fans until he knocked The King out of the race and they found out that he cheats.
Chick Hicks is not really a villain, He is just a selfish, greedy, and careless car and racing bully who only cares about himself, and he thinks he really needs Dinoco in order to ever be happy. He tries to kick other racers out since Chick thinks this gives him more chances to win and doesn't care if they are injured since he actually wants them to be injured. He doesn't really focus on racing skills, and he thinks there is a whole lot more to winning and cheating other cars than just getting better skills at racing. All Chick Hicks needed was Dinoco which he did not get. He is just a cheating jerk and selfish car, not a villain. He did not get Dinoco, because he cheated to get the Piston Cup by purposefully doing a PIT maneuver on the King.
Chick has attempted to rob McQueen before by hiring the Delinquent Road Hazards, though they are caught by McQueen and arrested. He became less rude and selfish after the events of Cars, but he still brags about his infamous win and taunts McQueen, meaning he still doesn't really like him, making him more of a trash-talking cyberbully. This however does cement him as a truly irredeemable character, likely meaning he is not sorry for damaging/injuring other cars on purpose, as well as giving the viewer examples that it’s mean to make fun of other people and call them names.
Powers and abilities
Chick is an incredibly fast race car that often does quite well in Piston Cup races (only due to him cheating), though he was inferior to The King's skills prior to his retirement in 2005, despite having around the same top speed as him (as evidenced by the 3-way tie where he was right next to The King at the finish line). Between the events of Cars: Race-O-Rama and Cars 3, Chick retired, and his sponsor did not return in Cars 3. Along with Lightning McQueen and The King, his top speed is in the area of 200 MPH. He has a small spoiler on his rear deck lid for aerodynamics.
Weaponry and Gadgets
In Cars 3: Driven to Win, Chick when bossed in his takedown event with his clones has these weapons:
- Machine Guns/Rapid Fire: Chick (with his clones), has machine guns to hurt the player.
- Missile Launcher/Rockets: Chick and his clones launch various missiles so they can attack the player.
- Magnetic Mine/Road Mine: Chick with its versions, use that Magnetic or Road Mine to launch it in a part of the circuit to damage the player.
Relationships

Chick has been shown to have Boost, DJ, Snot Rod and Wingo as allies on several different occasions, such as Cars: The Videogame and the book Mater Saves Christmas. In most of their appearances together, the four tuner cars are working for Chick in some way that harms others, whether it be Lightning, other racers, or Radiator Springs residents and tourists. This could mean Chick Hicks actually wants them to speed and do reckless driving and break the law.
Chick is also friends with his team members - Bruiser Bukowski, Wide Chick Pitty, Chick Hicks Pit Guy, his hauler, Chief Chick, and the rest of his unnamed pitties. Though he was originally friends with El Machismo, Candice, and Stinger, they turned against him and apologized to Lightning for their actions. Though the four muscle car gang from Queens - Vince, Barry, Sonny & Lenny - acted friendly towards Lightning, they were training with Chick.

Trivia
- Chick is rather similar to Randall Boggs from Monsters, Inc. personality-wise, since both characters have the goal of reaching to the top in their respective careers and despise being runner-ups.
- He has the most voice actors in the entire series, totaling at 4.
- 86, Chick's number, is most likely a reference to 1986, the year that Pixar was established. Additionally, "86" is used as a slang term for "eliminating" someone or something, which may have influenced Pixar's decision.
- Both the 8 and 6 respectively are subtracted and added by 1 to make 95, Lightning's number, to signify Chick's role as Lightning's Dark Parallel.
- 86 is even twice of 43, The King's number, because Chick thinks he is better than The King.
- The number of stickers he has on his bodywork imply that he is a sellout.
- Chick Hicks mostly served as a warning if McQueen never humbled himself throughout the film. His win and getting booed, as well as his bad attitude also gives the viewer example that bad sportsmanship is wrong and that even if you win, it doesn’t matter regardless. His brief appearance in the third movie also is a representation that he only cares about trophies, fame, winning, and making fun of others, whereas for Lightning McQueen, he put friendship first by helping The King finish his final race, even if it meant allowing his rival to claim victory through dirty methods.
- After Chick added a thundercloud sticker with the letter "C" on his front bumper near the end of the first movie, four stickers were removed in each side. Those being; Motor Oil, Spare Mint, Transberry Juice, and Shiny Wax.
- A Mattel Disney Pixar Cars of Chick, along with Lightning McQueen and Brush Curber, appears in one of the exhibit elements at The Science Behind Pixar exhibition.
- According to NASCAR rules, the PIT maneuver, aggressive driving, and intentionally crashing cars results in penalties - points deductions, fines, and even being suspended for a handful of races. However, Pixar chose to break this rule for the Piston Cup, because if they didn't, there would be no antagonist. This simply implies that the race officials allowed Chick (or any other bad racer) to play dirty just because he's one of the racers in contention of winning the Piston Cup (though it is also possible that they are bribed to not to punish Chick Hicks) and beating The King at his own game until the last moment when he performed an illegal PIT maneuver on Strip, causing him to spin out of control and tumble onto the infield, receiving heavy damage in the process, this prompting Lightning to help him to cross the finish line, and him to get forced to leave the winner's podium, which is basically the lesson as while McQueen learned that helping others is important than winning, even if it meant a dirty racer winning the Piston Cup, Chick didn't even learn the lesson McQueen did.
- According to old scripts, he was supposed to be named Chick Murphy.
- This was likely changed to "Hicks" due to another NASCAR-related film also from Disney, which is Herbie: Fully Loaded where the main antagonist in that film was called "Trip Murphy". The name was presumably changed to spare confusion since the projects had similar backgrounds.
- Chick's voice actor, Michael Keaton, was also in the movie, portraying Maggie Peyton's father, Ray Peyton Sr.
- This was likely changed to "Hicks" due to another NASCAR-related film also from Disney, which is Herbie: Fully Loaded where the main antagonist in that film was called "Trip Murphy". The name was presumably changed to spare confusion since the projects had similar backgrounds.
- He never appeared in Cars 2 for the film series.
- Despite not appearing in Cars 2, he appears in the video game for it as a downloadable character for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.
- As said above, in Cars 3, the Lightyear logo on his tires were replaced by yellow lettering reading his own name, Chick Hicks.
- In concept art, Chick Hicks' original racing number was 1, and his name was, The Fabulous Floyd.
- This is likely where the name Floyd Mulvihill originates from.
- Chick Hicks' model loosely resembles a Husker due to the shape, despite having no form of connection to it.
- He has some bald structures on his hood, It similar like there's a muscle car's performance engine inside the hood. And he does have this form in the video game Cars: Race-O-Rama.
- Maybe in the movie his high performance engine is inside the hood, but in the game his high performance engine is outside the hood, he was modified.
- Its very possible that Racer 13 racing for Nitroade (whom is shown in the 2005 teaser trailer for Cars) is a prototype of Chick Hicks, as the same goes with Racer 57 in the said trailer who is an early design of Lightning Mcqueen. Alongside the fact that the two cars in the latter media apparently have a feud with eachother which same thing goes with McQueen and Chick in the final film. This could also suggest that Nitroade was going to be Chick's sponsor, but was later transferred to Aiken Axler.
- During Mcqueen's daydream sequence, when the Sparkplugs attack, if one looks closely, they can see Chick in the corner amongst the many cars driving away in panic.
- If Chick Hicks did win the Dinoco 400 alongside winning the Piston Cup, it is highly likely that Tex would still refuse to sponsor him due to having played dirty in the race and would still be booed for it. It is also likely that if The King did win, he would’ve passed on the Dinoco sponsorship to McQueen or someone else, presumably Cal Weathers but not Chick Hicks due to having hated him ever since.
- It is unknown if Chick Hicks is actually his real name. His name could somewhat represent that he is a cheater.
- In the Rioplatenese version of Cars 3, he is voiced by Marcos Di Palma, an Argentinian race car driver known for his brash attitude.
- Although Chick appears in Cars 3, the reason he is played by Bob Peterson instead of his original actor, Michael Keaton, is because Keaton was busy doing his work for Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) at the time, which came out less than a month apart from Cars 3.
