Chick Hicks is a main character in Cars, and a supporting character in Cars 3. He is a green 1979 Shyster Cremlin. He races for the sponsor Hostile Takeover Bank. He is Lightning McQueen's (former) chief rival during the first movie. His nickname is "The Runner-Up", as he seems to always lose to The King.

In 2006, Chick Hicks is dastardly, dislikable, and downright desperate to win the Piston Cup. He is the perpetual runner-up of racing. For every second of his career, he has been second to best legendary driver, The King. Not only is Chick obsessed with winning the Piston Cup after the umpteenth time of trying, but he also wants to land the Dinoco sponsorship once The King retires.

The biggest hiccup of Chick's career is when Lightning McQueen starts racing. Just as Chick got used to being second, he now finds himself third on the podium.

Chick Hicks' number one fan is himself. He thinks he is talented, handsome, hilarious, and he is proud of his mustache (grille). However, apart from his team and pit crew, nobody else agrees. Ruthless Chick gets his kicks out of watching other cars lose. Even his sponsor, the Hostile Takeover Bank, isn't very nice, as can be inferred by its name, but it suits Chick and reflects his personality, as he often overtakes his opponents with hostile driving.

For Chick Hicks, the end justifies the means. This race car resorts to dirty tricks in order to win the Piston Cup, slamming, nudging, and knocking his opponents out of the way as if they were bumper cars. Both Lightning McQueen and The King take tumbles thanks to Hicks.

Some of the other pit crews think Chick Hicks' team is the pits. Full of sycophantic pitties, his crew all laugh at Chick's terrible jokes and wear equally terrible mustaches. They're also really bad sports.

In 2017, he is now hosting a news TV show about racing called Chick's Picks with Chick Hicks along with co-host, Natalie Certain.
