Chick Hicks emerges as the primary antagonist in the original "Cars" movie, while transitioning into a minor character in its sequel, "Cars 3." This shift is due to Jackson Storm assuming his role as the new antagonist.

Formerly a brash and self-absorbed Piston Cup racer, Chick Hicks' racing career is characterized by his aggressive tactics. He frequently resorted to causing deliberate damage to competitors' cars or engaging in interference to secure a more favorable race outcome. His distinct appearance is marked by an array of stickers that adorn his body, along with a grille reminiscent of a prominent mustache.

Carrying the iconic number 86, Chick was sponsored by HtB. The torch of representation for HtB was later passed to Rowdy Revvin' Busch, who is recognized as Chick's successor. In "Cars 3," Chick continues his presence as he hosts "Chick's Picks with Chick Hicks." Notably, his character evolves, relinquishing his antagonist role due to the emergence of Jackson Storm.
