= 1909 AAA national championship
=Dingley was selected as the 1909 "driver of the year" by American automotive journal Motor Age. He gained recognition as the 1909 national champion by the AAA Contest Board when championship results were retrospectively calculated in 1927. However, when results were being revisited in 1951 by negationist sportswriter Russ Catlin, who selected "winners" of retroactively awarded 1902 through 1908 championships, Dingley was stripped of the 1909 revisionist championship, which was instead given to George Robertson.
Death
Dingley died in a nursing home in Beech Grove, Indiana on April 7, 1966, aged 80.
