Gene Fasching passes away
Gene Fasching, 64, former NHRA Division 5 Pro Stock Champion and owner of Triple T Race Products, peacefully passed away at his home in Winsted, Minn., on December 22 after a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer.
Fasching campaigned cars in various categories from the mid 1960’s until 1989. He was most known for his Winsted Body Shop in Minnesota, which painted most of the Pro Stock cars on the track in the 1970s and ’80s as well as many of the “Showtime” funny cars for Tom Hoover. Fasching won the 1982 Pro Stock Division 5 title.
Fasching was also known for his innovative fabrication skills. In 1995, Fasching and his son Ted started Triple T Race Products, specializing in headers for Top Fuel and Funny Car as well as pit products used by most of today’s top teams. In the mid 90’s, Fasching kept his hands busy in drag racing, joining his three sons working on various top fuel and funny car teams as a fly-in crew member.
He is survived by his wife JoAnn, children Ted, Yvette, Terry and Troy and 11 grandchildren. Visitation will be Sunday, Dec. 27, from 4-8 p.m. at Chilson’s Funeral Home in Winsted and Mass of Christian Burial will be Dec. 28 at 10:30 a.m. at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Winsted.
