Chuck Arnold was an American racing driver who competed in Formula 1 as an established professional. He made one start for Kurtis Kraft in the 1959 Formula 1 championship, a single-class solo series run across multiple countries with a field spanning from amateurs to graded professionals.[1]
Arnold finished 14th in the 1959 Formula 1 championship standings. His sole indexed start came in that season; biographical records show he raced sporadically in USAC Championship Car racing between 1959 and 1968, including the 1959 Indianapolis 500, with a best finish of fifth at Trenton that year, but those results fall outside this database's scope.[2]
In his one Formula 1 outing he finished ahead of entry-level professional Jim McWithey. Kurtis Kraft, the team fielding his car, was an established operation that won five races across its indexed history and included the established professional Duane Carter among its drivers.
