Title: Daryl Busse
Post by: GOAT on July 09, 2024, 01:54:02 PM: I believe Busse was one of the top 20 drivers of all time. Look at his record. Your thoughts?

Post by: Mohawk mac on July 09, 2024, 02:09:36 PM: Learned the business from the ground up from his dad. He and Don both won national driving championships. Probably the only father / son combo to do so. Always had a knack for getting the most out of anything he drove. What impressed me most about Daryl was that he would literally drive anything and do it well. He was fearless and could handle the nastiest, most foul gaited things you ever saw. He drove for me many times and was always a pleasure to deal with.
