Buddy was the man! George Clark owner of the 171 Supermodified made these two comments to me in an interview in 2009. “Bud blew them in the weeds tonight”. Buddy drove with his head not his foot yet was very fast, setting several records and winning many races primarily at the MidAmerica Fairgrounds Track in Topeka. Thanks for the memories Buddy.

While I didnt know Buddy well, I have a couple quotes George Clark owner of the # 171 Super Modified told me when I interviewed George in 2008.. Shorty drove with his foot (driver before Buddy and we tore up the car many times) but Buddy drove with his head and look at the success Buddy had driving a under funded car. Another quote from George that he used often when Buddy did well was ole Bud blew them in the weeds tonight! LOL. Think of you and Buddy this anniversary of Buddys death. Respectfully, Marlin Weyer

So sorry for your loss. George Clark is my Grandfather. For years and years I've listened to old racing stories. THEY NEVER GET OLD !! Grandpa always gets excited when talking about Buddy. "Old Bud blew them in the weeds ! " Grandpa always talked so highly of Bud. They made a great team!! My daughter races quarter midgets now and we love looking at old photo's of Great Grandpa George and Buddy throwing dirt. I will tell Grandpa the sad news. Again sorry for your loss

James and family sorry for your loss. I knew Buddy from the Super Modified days driving for George Clark of Corning in the 171 car where he had many successes. Buddy drove with his head not just his foot. May he rest in peace.
