Chick Hicks is a racing veteran with a chip on his shoulder, a ruthless competitor who has cheated his way into more second-place finishes than any other car. He's been counting down the seasons to The King's retirement so he can take over the coveted Dinoco sponsorship, but he never expected such fierce competition from hotshot rookie Lightning McQueen.

Bio

In McQueen's worst nightmares, not only does Chick win the Piston Cup, but he also wins over Dinoco as well. In Cars, Chick Hicks is a racing veteran with a chip on his shoulder. A ruthless competitor, Chick will do anything to win. He wrecked The King during the tiebreaker race in Los Angeles, winning the Piston Cup, much to the fans' dislike. It is unknown what exactly happened to him after his disappearance behind the stage.

In Cars: The Video Game, during the 2006 season, Chick hired a gang of punk cars to steal Lightning's racing gear out if his hauler's trailer. Lightning confronted Chick at the fourth race, but Chick claimed to know nothing about it. He was later beaten out by McQueen, and lost the season. Chick returned to Radiator Springs to train for the next season, and once again made some new friends, who he used to taunt McQueen. Lightning beat Chick at a final race, and he fled back to his hometown.

In Cars: Race-O-Rama, he returns as the main antagonist. He tells McQueen that he and some of his friends are here to win the Race-O-Rama series to shut down the Doc Hudson Racing Academy which he calls pathetic. If he does, everyone would want to come to his racing academy, where they will probably learn to cheat, and Mater will have to tow Lightning out of Radiator Springs in shame, and Radiator Springs will belong to him! However, McQueen, having some modifications, won the Race-O-Rama series, with Chick saying that he will be back and have revenge.

In Mater Saves Christmas, Chick's latest appearance was around Christmas time 2009, when he and his gang stole tons of goods from the local shops. Chick was then arrested, and it is assumed he is still there, and his Piston Cup career has ended.
