A great accomplishment. But as they say you can't compare results from different eras. Bigelow won the vast majority of his races on 1/2 mile tracks. Many, if not most, of Darland's wins were on shorter 1/4 mile tracks. And Bigelow also won races on the paved tracks including the high banks. Someone here will know for sure but off the top of my head I can't remember Darland ever winning a USAC sprint car race on a paved track. Don't get me wrong Darland is one of the best ever in USAC. But it would also be hard to find any sprint car driver whose record would match that of Bigelow for overall versatility.
