"George Tet" Tetsuo Fuchigami

George Tet, the first Japanese NASCAR driver and a florist from Long Island, New York, aka Tetsio Futchiami, was a top New England area modified driver back in the 50's and 60's. He was the Islip Speedway 1960 Champion.

Tet only raced three times in NASCAR and he was over his head at Daytona as witnessed in the 1961 Daytona 500 as he started 55th and finished 51st, only lasting 24 laps.

George's American family were actually from Hawaii, but of Japanese decent. Being the first Japanese NASCAR driver, he adds to the Legend of NASCAR.


Yeah, just a copy/paste, I know. I was actually amazed to find that there was a Japanese driver in the 1960s- I remember a few years ago there was a Japanese driver in NASCAR, and the announcers (incorrectly, now) said he was the first Japanese driver. I guess though they were both right and wrong, since Tetsuo isn't from Japan, he's from NY.

I THOUGHT I NEW LIKE ALL THE DRIVERS BUT I DONT RECALL HEARING ABOUT HIM SORRY BUT HE SOUNDS SWEET

I had sex with him last night.
