Go to the Search Race Results. I encourage everyone to do it for themselves. However, here is the synopsis:
Total Races: 110 A Mains: 110 Wins: 1 Top 5: 17 Top 10: 43 Top 15: 67 Top 20: 89
There are your stats, Duke. I think they speak for themselves........ |
Not that it matters one bit in the grand scheme of this thread, but obviously Duke ran more than 110 races in his career, and certainly won more than one solitary feature.
Open Wheel Times is an amazing collection of information (and one that's growing, getting better and more accurate all the time -- there's absolutely nothing like it), but naturally it is riddled with holes. For example, my grandpa won over 100 features in his career, yet none of them appear in the database. Not because Kevin's work is sloppy by any means, but because it becomes increasingly difficult to gather statistics as you travel back in time as I've tried to do occasionally. And Kevin's not looking for just Ron Fisher's stats -- he's trying to catalog every pertinent sprint car race
ever run.
Quite an undertaking, indeed.
