Somebody stuck the "Peoples Champ" stamp on him and it stuck and it "WORKS" His other nicknames were "THE DEPUTY" and "DOUBLE D" the latter is still used.

Hope that helps, Couldn't tell you who came up with it, Probably Rob Klepper who was the *Voice of USAC* up till a couple years ago and now does Lucas Oil broadcast, Chili Bowl etc.

I believe JR Todd gave him the nickname!

and just to tease all the "DD" fans out there, watch for the Dave Darland book to be released soon, so i've been told.

Thought he won at Bloomington in Jared Fox's 56 car a few years back

Does anyone else remember him driving the Paul Hazen 57 car too?
