The Origin of 'DW' and 'DA' Nicknames

>> Did you have a name? Like what did they call Henry Benfield Piccolo Player or something? >> Yeah, I was Country Gentleman. Everybody around the racetrack always called me D.A. Cuz we we had Darrell Waltrip. Both of us named Darrell. Every time they'd holler, "Darrell, come here." Both of us would answer. And Jeff Hammond said, "We got to stop this." So, from then on I was D.A. and he was D.W. >> Is that how he came to be D.W.? Like cuz I he goes by D.W. now. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, anytime I can go to the racetrack right now. I ain't been to the racetrack in years. I can go to the racetrack right down here and they'll still call me D.A. >> That's funny. >> Jeremy calls me D.A. >> There'd be no There'd be no D.W. without D.A. He'd just still be Darrell. >> Well, and uh yeah, Darrell used to call all the time and he'd call the office. Now, before I sold out, he would call and say, "Let's speak to my other brother, Darrell."
