Abstract: In his famous theorem (1982), Douglas Leonard characterized the $q$-Racah polynomials and their relatives in the Askey scheme from the duality property of $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graphs. In this paper we consider a nonsymmetric (or Laurent) version of the $q$-Racah polynomials in the above situation. Let $Gamma$ denote a $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graph that contains a Delsarte clique $C$. Assume that $Gamma$ has $q$-Racah type. Fix a vertex $xinC$. We partition the vertex set of $Gamma$ according to the path-length distance to both $x$ and $C$. The linear span of the characteristic vectors corresponding to the cells in this partition has an irreducible module structure for the universal double affine Hecke algebra $hat{H}_q$ of type $(C_1^{vee},C_1)$. From this module, we naturally obtain a finite sequence of orthogonal Laurent polynomials. We prove the orthogonality relations for these polynomials, using the $hat{H}_q$-module and the theory of Leonard systems. Changing $hat{H}_q$ by $hat{H}_{q^{-1}}$ we show how our Laurent polynomials are related to the nonsymmetric Askey-Wilson polynomials, and therefore how our Laurent polynomials can be viewed as nonsymmetric $q$-Racah polynomials.
