Racing career
Al Tasnady made four appearances in the NASCAR Grand National Series. In 1957, he also made 16 starts in the NASCAR Convertible Division in a factory backed Plymouth.
Tasnady otherwise spent the majority of his career racing in the Modified divisions competing at the renowned tracks of the northeast, including Nazareth Speedway and Reading Fairgrounds Speedway in Pennsylvania, and Flemington Speedway in New Jersey. He is thought to be the first modified driver to have an organized fan club, and in 1963 was recognized by the Greater New York Auto Racing Fraternity as the number 1 driver in the country.
