Petticord drove for the Essex racing team in 1922 and 1923, as well as for the Boyle Valve racing team in 1927. Primarily a dirt track racer, Petticord made starts in both IMCA Big Cars and AAA Championship Car including the 1927 Indianapolis 500. He also served as a relief driver later in that race for Al Melcher and then the next year was a relief driver for Ira Hall. In 1934, he again attempted to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 but failed to do so. He failed to qualify in 1938 as well.
