Ted Tetzlaff, #33 Fiat, Milwaukee

01

Artifact Overview

Ted Tetzlaff competed four times in the Indianapolis 500 from 1911 to 1914. He earned his best finish in 1912, piloting the #3 Fiat to second place. Tetzlaff was rough on his race cars and received the nickname "Terrible Teddy." His "go all out all the time" strategy grew less effective as competitors became more nuanced behind the wheel.
