At some point in his life, Buddy met Jack Toretto and became a member of his pit-crew for the stock car racing seasons of 1989. After an incident between Jack and Kenny Linder, Jack was killed after crashing his car into a wall at 120MPH and his car blows up as a result of Jakob tampering with the car to help Jack throw the race. Jack held Dom back as he watched his father burn to death. A week later, he takes Dom and Jakob to the track to sign release forms and claim what's left of his car and he attempts to stop Dom from beating Linder with a wrench, his attempts of which fail. After Dom is taken into custody, Buddy watched over Jakob and his sister Mia Toretto.
Two years later, when Dom was released from prison, he raced Jakob and wins, forcing Jakob to leave town and Jakob stayed with Buddy for a year. Mia tracked Jakob down to Buddy's and would visit him often before Jakob fled and left a note saying not to follow him. Mia continued her attempts to find Jakob but failed. However, Buddy kept tabs on him.
Needing to find Jakob, Dom, with assistance from Michael Stasiak, returns to LA and drove to Buddy's garage. The two talked about old times before Buddy criticized Dom for his treatment of Jakob, then telling him that Jakob is in London, encouraging Dom to make amends with Jakob.
