Within an approximately 11-12-hour driving radius of Duluth there is:
> Devil's Tower, Wyoming
> Billings, Montana (12 hours if you're really in a hurry!)
> Regina, Saskatchewan
> Tulsa, Oklahoma
> The Ozarks
> Louisville, Kentucky
> Cedar Point amusement park
> Detroit, MI
> Sudbury, ON
Very limited compared to Chicago, where you can theoretically get to NYC, Atlanta, Baltimore, Ottawa, the Wall Drug Store in western South Dakota, and even Monroe, LA within +/- 12 hours.
are very long drives for leisure more part of the culture out there? 12 hours sounds extreme to me, but it seems like there's more of a road trip culture in the middle of the country.

Everything is so spread out in the west that a 12 hour drive is typical on a road trip. Seattle to San Francisco is 12 hours and lots of people make that trip! I guess it's not as big of a deal over here.
Chibougamau, Quebec
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Elkhart, Indiana
Wilmington, North Carolina
Cincinnati, Ohio
Johnson City, Tennesse (in the mountains)
Prince Edward Island

That isn't exactly true, and not feasible for say, a weekend. Either way you lose 2 days making that trip. Not really sure what the point is. And I would imagine there are far more people who drive from say, the NE and Midwest to Florida...
My weekend limit is about 4-5 hours for a weekend trip and maybe 8 hours for a 3-4 day weekend. 12 hours+ is more of a week+ trip.

You cannot easily get to NYC from Chicago in 12 hours. DC, yes, but not NYC (*edit: maybe if you go 80 mph with no traffic). Also, you seemed to forget that the Twin Cities are within 12 hours of Duluth -- more like 2.5 hours.
