He's been counting down the seasons to the King's retirement so that he can take over the coveted Dinoco sponsorship, but he never expected such fierce competition from hotshot rookie Lightning McQueen." "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 also has the reputation of not racing fairly: His nickname is "The Runner-Up", as he seems to always lose to the King. Hicks is in a three-way tie with the King and Lightning McQueen and is attempting to win the Piston Cup. He even brags to the audience about the Piston Cup he won and presents his trophy next to him, which also shows that he is still rude, even proclaiming himself as a Piston Cup winner and "Champion for all ages". He mocks McQueen for being no match to Jackson Storm and once again shows that he lets his anger and arrogance control his actions. Chick serves as an example of what McQueen would have become if the latter had gotten too caught up in his selfishness and arrogance.ĭuring the events of the third film, despite being a reporter, Chick Hicks still remains an unpleasant and selfish bully. Chick, on the other hand (despite having won his first Piston Cup by cheating), never learns the lesson that there is more to racing than just winning and let his selfishness, arrogance and anger be his downfall. McQueen, however, learned to accept that helping others is more important than fame and fortune after choosing to concede the Piston Cup to Chick so he can help the King finish his last race. They are both racers who dream of getting at Dinoco, which represents the peak of success. He even intentionally bumped into and caused the King to crash, despite the fact that he was going to retire anyway.Ĭhick largely serves as a parallel to McQueen.
Having lived all his career in the shadow of the King has made him bitter and devoid of any sense of fair-play which makes him resort to cheating his way into winning by knocking other racers out of the race. Chick always brags about winning, and he's also sarcastic and intimidating.
Even to his own minions, Chick is extremely rude, arrogant, and self-centered, and loves winning like Lightning McQueen was at the start of the film however, these traits are more exaggerated in Chick and often make him more ridiculous or obnoxious.
