There was less competition for the ticket buyer's dollar back then, and for some reason Drivers of the day got a lot more good publicity news papers, magazines, radio and even TV. They all had nick names or last names that people could remembered and they also raced at the local tracks. One class built on the other until they reached the top of the heap "Champ Cars".
