Kenneth Daryle Saucier
Age 67, of Indianapolis passed away unexpectedly at his home December 16, 2022. He was
born March 17, 1955 in New Orleans, Louisiana the son of Luther and Helen (Hodge) Saucier.
Daryle was recognized as being one of the pioneers of sprint car fuel system products. After
opening his fuel pump repair business initially in Memphis, Tennessee, he relocated to the
sprint car racing hotbed of the Midwest Indianapolis, Indiana.
Daryle previously campaigned cars successfully in The World of Outlaws, USAC Sprint Cars,
Midgets and Silver Crown Series. After his success as a car owner and crew chief he decided
to spend more time focusing on his growing fuel system business which started as pump re-
pairs and grew to include his own DR components. DR pumps have powered many, many
main event winners and champions.
Daryle as many people know, had a great love for animals. He loved the cats he left behind
and loved feeding his racoons. He liked sitting out by the creek listening to the water. Daryle is
survived by his wife of 32 years Cindy, daughter Tracy (Jerry) Grimes, grandsons, Trevor
Grimes and Colton Grimes, step siblings, Jimmy Walton, Danny Walton, Mark Walton and
Martha Martin, and his nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and
brother Charles Saucier.
