Career

Duckworth made his sole Cup Series appearance at the 1955 [Southern 500] under the Woodruff Motors sponsorship livery while driving a 1955 Chevrolet.
In the 1955 Southern 500, Duckworth qualified 40th and finished 55th after Arden Mounts crashed into his stalled vehicle on lap 147. While Bill [Champion (racing driver)|Bill Champion] managed to avoid Duckworth by swerving past the vehicle rapidly, Mounts did not see the stalled vehicle it was until too late to avoid him. Duckworth earned $50.
Despite his very brief career, his appearance on filmed media makes him one of the more recognizable drivers who never made it in professional stock car racing.
