Bud was a good racer. He did well from time to time and always had a pretty car! I think he was from West Liberty.

Bud wins at West Liberty. I wonder who the little one was he was holding?

1969 - While Mel Morris was the hot driver in Mississippi Valley Speed Club action for the month of July, Bud Darting of Wilton Junction was heating up for August. Darting started by winning at West Liberty on August 2, then went to Columbus Junction where he won back-to-back features (August 8 and August 9). He then went back to West Liberty on Monday, August 10 for the Muscatine County Fair and won his fourth straight MVSC feature. Meanwhile, three drivers (Mel Morris, John Moss and Pokey West) were all suspended for two races for loading their cars up and leaving the pit area after refusing to time their cars.
