Bud Dagler, a resident of Fort Wayne, Indiana, was critically injured while attempting to qualify for the 100-mile race over the 1-mile dirt oval at Roby Speedway in Hammond, Indiana. A steering knuckle on his stock car broke, causing it to overturn. He was taken to a hospital in Indiana Harbor in seriously condition suffering from internal injuries. The next day, his family was called to his side as it was feared that he would not survive. He survived the day, only to developed double pneumonia. He died early in the morning on Wednesday, 09 October 1929.
Dagler had been born in Rushville, Indiana, the son of William and Edna (Offutt) Dagler. His father died when Dagler was young, leaving his wife with Bud and his twin brothers, Lewis and Warren E. The widowed mother raised her family in Rushville with the help of relatives.
Two years earlier, in 1927, Bud Dagler had moved from Rushville to Fort Wayne. Unmarried, he lived at 327 W. Rudisill Boulevard, and was the owner and manager of the Fort Wayne Box Lunch Company on Broadway. He had gotten involved in racing only the past summer, and had raced stock cars at Winchester and Huntington Speedways.
Besides his mother and brothers, Dagler was survived by a grandmother, Mrs. Eva Offutt. The employees of his company made the trip to Rushville for the services.
