Perris, CA — (October 1, 2014) — Perris Auto Speedway is pleased to announce that three-time Oval Nationals champion and USAC National Sprint Car Series all-time main event win leader Dave Darland will be doing a book signing at the 19th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals Presented by All Coast Construction on Saturday, November 8th.
The popular Lincoln, Indiana racer will have copies of the book, “The Peoples, Champ,” for sale at the signing. The signing will take place in the track’s sports bar from 3:00 to 4:30 PM. After the signing is over, fans can watch Darland in his quest to become the only 4-time winner of the Oval Nationals.
Written by Darland with award winning author Bones Bourcier and a forward from Tony Stewart, the 192-page book is the autobiography of one of Sprint Car racing’s most popular and talented racers. The People’s Champ charts the course of Darland’s racing life, from Quarter-Midgets and local Sprint Cars through his remarkable professional career, including championships in all three of USAC’s national divisions – Silver Crown, Sprint Cars, and Midgets.
No mere chronological rehashing of a great driver’s climb, in the book Darland discusses the rivalries that helped shape his career, the code of conduct he races by, the magic of his sport’s biggest events, and the joys and stresses of being a husband and father in a sport that requires frequent travel and intense focus. The book is illuminated with reflections from “eyewitnesses” who have seen Darland through the prisms of their own personal and professional relationships, whether as car owner, mechanic, rival driver, or family member. Darland’s story is illustrated by dozens of photographs, many previously unpublished.
