Chuck Arnold was an American driver whose recorded racing career consisted of a single Formula 1 start in 1959 for Kurtis Kraft, ending in twentieth position. His appearance at that level represented the entirety of his documented activity in top-flight international motorsport competition.[1]
The broader outline of Arnold's racing came in American open-wheel competition, where he competed sporadically in the USAC Championship Car series between 1959 and 1968, a period far longer than his Formula 1 appearance might suggest. That series, primarily contested on American circuits, placed him in a field substantially weaker than contemporary Grand Prix racing; his single classified start in the Formula 1 record averages to a finish of fifteenth. Arnold's competitive standing across all records yields a Racer Rating of 2,962, situating him as an amateur-level driver in a field of club racers and occasional national competitors rather than a professional or semi-professional rival.[2]
