At the time of his retirement in 2005, Busse was the 39th in career victories for a driver. RIP.
Daryl Busse, 67, for many years a leading driver-trainer both nationally and in Illinois, died Thursday evening, Oct. 8, at home, following a lengthy illness. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

In his driving career, which ended in 2005, Mr. Busse won 5,651 races and drove the winners of $30,331,095.
