Career
He was also a very active ice racer, using hockey shin pads to allow him to lean over farther, scraping his knee on the ice rather than merely sliding his foot as did speedway racers. Following in the footsteps of motorcycle legends Joe Weatherly and Paul Goldsmith, Duhamel raced a National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing Winston Cup race at the North Wilkesboro Speedway in 1973, finishing tenth for Junie Donlavey in the #90 Truxmore Ford after starting 15th, completing 381 laps of the 400-lap Gwyn Staley 400. He is still open to offers of racing the Daytona 200.
Duhamel was inducted into both the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame and the American Medical Association Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999.
