Chuck Weyant was an American driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1955 and 1959, accumulating four starts without recording a win or podium finish. His racer rating of 6,062 places him in the established professional band, the level of a full-time competitor capable of winning races in strong fields. Weyant raced primarily for Kurtis Kraft, which over its history compiled five race wins and fielded drivers of the calibre of Duane Carter, a generational-level competitor.[1]
Weyant's four Formula 1 starts yielded limited results; he averaged a finishing position of thirteenth across his classified runs. On single occasions he finished ahead of multiple drivers of professional standing, including Jim Rathmann (rated 7,325, an elite professional), Tony Bettenhausen (7,220), Eddie Johnson (7,167), and Johnnie Parsons (7,142), though these were isolated instances rather than sustained competitive patterns. His most recent Formula 1 appearance, in 1959, ended in twentieth place. The headlines surrounding his later life indicate a long involvement with midget racing and endurance in American motorsport; he was noted as the oldest living Indianapolis 500 starter at the time of his death in 2017.
