Gwynn won three times in 1981, and he then added two wins apiece in 19 and three wins in 1984.
Not only did Darrell have 10 wins as an Alcohol Dragster, but he was also the Top Alcohol Dragster World Champion in 1983. The competitive spirit he developed then still burns today.Īt the tender age of 23, Gwynn turned professional as he moved up to the Top Fuel category.
While he didn't win a race in his 12 starts, he did qualify number one once and made it to the final round in two races, including the biggest race of all: the U.S. However, his sixth-place finish in the Winston Championship did not go unnoticed. The following year, in 1986, Gwynn was the talk of Top Fuel. The kid had even the most seasoned veterans scratching their heads by winning three races in the first half of the season. He was in a dogfight with legendary Don Garlits for a championship.
