Today would be Alan Kulwicki's 70th birthday! I am extremely grateful for those who have stepped up to preserve Alan's legacy. His story is one I think anybody can learn something useful from to apply in their own life. I am very excited to get the upcoming Hometown History Tour video of Alan's early days ready for you all to see. This video was filmed on that day of recording but I decided to make the Trophy Room its own video since this particular location was not there during Alan's early career in Milwaukee area, although you will see some photos from this location in that upcoming video! Help history grow and hit the thumbs up and subscribe button! stapletonautoworks.com
I don’t think a lot of people realize just how amazingly impressive Kulwicki winning the championship in ‘92 as a driver/owner really was. His talent and his intelligence was so far ahead of the times. To me, one of the most impressive accomplishments in all of sports history. Just my opinion 🤷♂️
I’ve lived in the Milwaukee area for 23 years and have driven by Alan Kulwicki Park a million times, but I always thought they just named the park after him. I had no idea the pavilion/museum was back there I’ll visit now thanks to you!
Being from Wisconsin this hits harder then alot of your videos. Alan was the bridge from when Rusty, Mark Martin, Dick Trickle, and others were running ASA and Wisconsin tracks, to Matt Kenseth. Alan was one of my early idols in racing. I'm glad you are helping to keep his story alive and well. Alan will always be the last independent racer to win a NASCAR championship.
This is where I grew up. Alan raced at Hales Corners speedway. Dated a gal who was the flag girl and radio personality in Milwaukee. Your insights take the videos to the next level. Thank you b
In October 1992 I visited several of the race shops in the Charlotte area. The first sign I saw when I turned on to Victory Lane from Morehead Road, was the sign for Alan Kulwicki's race shop. The building immediately east of it was Wallace Racing used then by Kenny Wallace. The building immediately south of it was Bobby Allison Racing. Seeing the sign again sure brings back good memories. Thank you.
Another beautiful job mitchell. I was a huge Alan Wiki fan. Prior to his death my daughter's bought me a number 7 Ford Thunderbird called a wooden oooden.. it was a hand-carved hand-painted replica of Alan's car. I guess right after they were able to purchase this NASCAR SmackDown on the Creator because it wasn't an officially licensed product.. I've attempted to do research on the Creator and I can find absolutely nothing. The reason I'm making this inquiry is because if they don't have one I'd be honored to give this to the museum. It is incredible it was carved out of a block of wood. Even the tires and wheels were created out of wood..
First off shout to you because a lot of your content wouldn't even get 10 minutes on TV. Hooters always cared about Alan in the downtown Atlanta location i got sat at the booth with the blown up photo of him just smiling. The Georgia racing Hall of fame has some neat Alan artifacts
Absolutely loved this. AK is the reason my family got into racing. Another good video to make would be one about Dick Trickle. Another tragedy. From his accident as a kid to his last day could be a movie. AK is gone but he will never be forgotten. You doing these videos will help that tremendously as well. I'm from Wisconsin and know what Alan Kulwicki and Dick Trickle meant to all of us. What I would give to just have 1, 15 minute conversation with AK. Thank you for this video!
@@Stapleton42 Amazing job done by the two of you as usual🙌 Agree a piece on Trickle would be a great idea. Grew up watching him race and something on him would be the cherry on top of all the great work you have already done!
@Stapleton42 there is alot of information about Dick at the Wisconsin International Raceway, in Kaukauna Wisconsin. It was one the tracks he absolutely dominated. Also it's one of the most unique short tracks you will ever see. Please reach out to them. All of the big names in 80's and 90's Nascar came through there. Kyle Petty even had Adam come up here and race because of how difficult the track is
I've been looking everyday for this series. Thank you so very much. I was living in Houst Tx. when Alan lost his life but so very much admired the man because he built and set up his own cars and he set up his cars with a 4ft. level and a plumb bob while other people in the garage snickered and laughted. Alan was the real deal all the way. I know live one hour north of the park and museum. I will find out when they are open and pay my upmost respects. You and Logan are totally AWESOME.
In August of 1993 I visited a friend that lived in Concord. One of the things we did was check out Alan's shop. We couldn't go in, but I took a picture of the sign out front and the building. I still have that picture. RIP Alan. Gone way too soon.
Thank you for keeping AK alive for generations to come. I remember watching him race and unfortunately hearing and seeing the news of his death. He was a pioneer in the sport when he was alive and still today. We will never know the questions on how many more races and championships he might have won. However to me knowing he never had any kids is sad. Once again great video. Love all the hard work and miles you put into each one. Have a Merry Christmas.
Thanks for posting! I became a Alan Kulwicki fan when i started getting into NASCAR One of these days i would love to visit the Park . When i visit Milwaukee in 2013 the Milwaukee historical Society had a Alan Kulwicki " A Champion’s Story" exhibit . i sure must of the stuff is now in the park.
I live 10 miles from the park and have yet to see it...I have been to his grave...I used to deliver sod to the cemetery back in the mid 80's...I started collecting 1/64 cars back in 1991...I now have over 1500 cars and I have 14 different cars of Alan's...Truthfully I was never a fan of his because he drove a Ford...Now knowing how crummy Ford was towards him after he died....I am glad I am a CHEVY guy....I always respected Alan...I cheered when he won the Championship...I remember that race like it was yesterday...So many things happened in that race...Pettys last race....Gordons first race...The first time Good year used yellow lettering...Both Buick and Oldsmobile last race...6 different drivers could mathematically win the championship...I admire that he did it his own way...
I’ll never forget the news of him passing in a plane crash. It hit me hard. Very emotional. Couldn’t wait to see what he was going to do as a defending champ.
Thank you for sharing this and doing such a deep dive on Alan as a driver but as a man. I’ve lived in the Milwaukee area my entire life. I was 12 when Alan passed away and I was just getting into NASCAR then. It was of course incredibly heartbreaking he died so young but I am so thankful for his life story. How he ultimately won the championship as an owner / driver in such a close points race… it was truly a championship run for the ages. Appreciate this greatly!
This is extremely interesting, I forgot he had no living relatives. Seeing his old shop would be amazing! Thanks for keeping Old NASCAR and Old legends alive. You know what would be real cool? Having Geoff Bodine show you around the old shop…. As he remembers it when he took over.
Thank you so much for making this video Garrett. I live 4 miles from the Brooks pavilion. Alan's story is such an inspirational one. The little guy beating the corporate giants. His early career was probably more impressive than his NASCAR career, but hasn't been shown until now. You have no idea how much I appreciate you doing this.
Alan Kulwicki was a hell of a race car driver. Not a driver but he worked, set his cars up, etc himself. Thanks so much for all of your videos brother. Keep up the great work 👍🏁
Thank you for creating this video on Alan. I was a fan of his when he raced in the ASA series and then when he moved up to NASCAR. His tragic death was devastating to so many of us that were his fans. He was a true racer and an inspiration to so many!
A greaet show. So sad to lose anybody that's in sports at an early age. Thank you for bringing up his memory and bring it before the public on his birthday. God bless you stay safe 👍👍👍👍
Another great video you two. Another sad time in NASCAR history That's back in the day when it was very hard to come up with NASCAR diecast in small towns
I don't believe he would have won another Winston Cup. The tide was already turning in favor of multi-car teams. Those who knew Alan best don't believe he would have been willing to expand to a second or third car. He could have won several more races, but I think 1992 was the last opportunity he had to win a championship.
Just imagine what guys like him and davey and adam petty coulda accomplished if they hadnt been taken so soon not gonna lie i teared up watching this. Great job guys n keep up the good work
@@Stapleton42 most definitely with his engineering background id think he would have been a major player in the R&D side of things and made major changes.
You weren't the only one. I can remember watching Alan race in the Red White and Blue series are KK and talking to him in the pits after. He never turned away a fan.
Friend of mine met Alan when we were kids. He gave him a ride in a limo with him and some hooters girls. Than he autographed his cast he still has it to this day. It also has Daveys signature on it
1992 was the first season I watched NASCAR. The season finale was the week before my 11th birthday. I hand-picked Alan as my favorite driver. I cried like a baby the whole day he died and I thought it was a really cruel April Fool's joke. I am in a Kulwicki facebook group, I have had a couple fellow fans/members send me stuff of his, I have a pretty decent collection and I was able to get a few die-casts after he died, and I have the Hall of Fame shirt and hat as well, to help keep his memory alive. I met Peter Jellen at Texas 5 years ago, he was Alan's hauler driver and gas man on race days. Nicest guy. Asked him what Alan was like. He said, away from the car, regular guy. At the track, very intense and focused. Said driving the hauler around Bristol was the hardest thing he'd ever done. Thanks for posting this! Feel like I'm Alan's biggest fan but I know I hardly am. Just a fan who was young when he died (and I thought 38 was so old when he died...I'm past that age now) and just a fan who tries to keep his memory alive.
Awesome video Mitch. What Alan and his team accomplished was incredible. First class individual. Pretty disappointed in Ford Motor Company though not wanting to contribute.
My dad took me to the Greenfield HS event in the winter of 92/93. Alan got there late, but he did stay well beyond when he was planning to leave. I still have the Racing Champions card that I had Alan sign.
Great video! It's amazing to discover that these places exist for us to visit. Most of us were kids when these events occurred, and we never knew there were locations where we could pay our respects. I wish there was something like this for Davey, but that was 30 years ago when he passed. It really was a whole different era before the internet.
It would be cool to have something like this for Davey too. I never really thought about that. I would assume his possessions are still with his wife and children
I think NASCAR produced a segment where his wife discussed how they donated Davey’s organs to different people after his death. NASCAR during this era was really special, especially as a kid raised in the South.
Alan was my favorite driver of all time. I'm left handed, and my birthday is December 14, I'm Wisconsin Proud. R.I.P. my friend. I cried watching this like I cried when I found out he passed. He did it his way.
Another great video > great job Mitch & Logan > i met Geoff Bodine @ Homestead in the pits a friend of mine asked me to ask Geoff if he would pose in a picture with her >> he said no problem >> he's a real nice guy .
Correct me if I’m off but AC Spark Plug division of GM was an associate sponsor on Ak’s car and Rick Rudds fords along with lots of the GM cars. It was nice of the service decision to also give money any way. Another outstanding production guys
Alan is one of my heroes, and to watch this was a pretty emotional experience. I have quite a bit of AK memorabilia including some of the same items (photos, prints, cars, etc.) in those display cases. Now that I live in Indianapolis, I plan of visiting Greenfield in the near future. Thank you so much for doing this, and have a great holiday and a happy and safe new year! Oddly enough, I was "like" number 792 for this video.
You nailed it again with another very cool video! As always, thank you for preserving our NASCAR history! Love it that you always surprise me with another driver!
I found out about you from racing go karts with a guy named Rob Bates , his number was 42 so I walked over to tell him nice number! Today is also my birthday didn't know Alan's was 12/14. Keep doing what you're doing I'm old and like the history of NASCAR more than I do the modern day racing.
I grew up near Hales Corners Speedway which unfortunately is no longer were Alan raced. And I was there at the church the day of his funeral .☹️I still look for things of his , and cherish what have collected over the years. Even been at the Hooters restaurant Greenfield and the McDonalds that displayed his stuff.😁I have been in that pavilion and wander then go home and be inspired 👍😁
Again you put out great content and I am very thankful for all you have done I have not missed one since I found your channel and I won't miss one either always a👍 and sometimes a😢 but love them all
I love your videos. I was born in 1990 and my fondest memories as a kid was watching NASCAR and how great the sport use to be in those days. A Neil Bonnet video would be great.
Awesome to see the F.R.R.C. 1979 champion trophy. That's the Fox River Racing Club Championship Trophy from my home track W.I.R. in Kaukauna Wisconsin. 🏁 another great video buddy 👍
I said it before, i'll say it again. U guys are bad to the bone with these vids, The best of the best on the youtubes. You guys are my heros, from the hustle to the in depth history lessons. 💪🍻
Thank you for making this video. Great work! I live in Madison Wisconsin and didn’t even know that pavilion/park in Greenfield was there. I will definitely be checking it out. Keep up the good work!

@Stapleton42 please do. We really need these memories recorded and kept safe for generations.
2 things that was devastating to watch was Mike Helton saying we lost Dale in turn 4, and Alan's hauler leaving Bristol.
I agree😢
The announcer asked everyone to please stand till Alan's hauler left the track.😇😇😇
All the heavy hitters of NASCAR are long gone.

awesome video love the nascar history video from back in the good ol nascar days miss those days
Keep doing the Lord's work, Stapleton! It us greatly appreciated!
@@ronniewatkins we appreciate you Ronnie!
We have all of our family events at this park. This pavilion is for rent and the people who run it are awesome to deal with.
Allen was the ultimate little man that made it to the top of the mountain
I remember watching the Underbird win the Championship! Then hearing in the news that he had crashed near Bristol. Great job you all do!
Alan is 1 of those guys you couldn't find ANYONE in the garage that didn't like and respect him
Like and respect are very different. I’m sure there are lots of people who didn’t like him but you’re dead on about respecting him.
Happy birthday Alan you was a legend and would’ve been even more
Another great video. Alan did it the right way. He was a tough competitor.
Alan was a great champion. A shame he never got to enjoy his hard-earned success nearly long enough. I am glad this place exists for people to see.
1992 was the first season I watched NASCAR. The season finale was the week before my 11th birthday. I hand-picked Alan as my favorite driver. I cried like a baby the whole day he died and I thought it was a really cruel April Fool's joke.

Another trip down memory lane. Thanks Mitchell and Logan.
Thank you, we enjoy bringing these stories to light!
Great Great video thank you so much for these wonderful videos you put out.

I do remember AC being on the Zerex car but I am not sure if it was on the hooters one too. Good observation
5:01 absolutely crazy - downright sick
Great video. What a fitting tribute to a true legend

Great job man. Would love to see more on Alan. Keep up the amazing work!
As a nascar fan thank you guys so much for documenting all of the great history of this sport 👍🏻👍🏻😊
this was another great video made by you guys it is a shame not more was done for Alan for ppl to find more about his life
I agree. We are working to change that now though!
Hey Stapleton man you just keep banging them out top notch
thank you sir!
Another amazing video. Thank you for all the hard work
Another awesome video, thanks for all you do.
Awesome coverage and excellent information and history, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
I found out about you from racing go karts with a guy named Rob Bates , his number was 42 so I walked over to tell him nice number! Today is also my birthday didn't know Alan's was 12/14. Keep doing what you're doing I'm old and like the history of NASCAR more than I do the modern day racing.
Thanks man! I like the old stuff more too but I am hoping the future can bring in more aspects of what made the old stuff so great!
Great video! I love the way you tell the story. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I'm so glad they were able to put this building up. A lot of cool stuff
Awesome guys...just freaking awesome job... looking forward to the other videos ❤
We appreciate the support!
I grew up near Hales Corners Speedway which unfortunately is no longer were Alan raced. And I was there at the church the day of his funeral .☹️I still look for things of his , and cherish what have collected over the years. Even been at the Hooters restaurant Greenfield and the McDonalds that displayed his stuff.😁I have been in that pavilion and wander then go home and be inspired 👍😁

Thanks for the great video!
It would have been cool if they had saved Alan's iconic hauler and have it on display at the museum
I 've got the Hooters local show car Ford E-350 Dually Hauler.purchased in North Carolina ,1994 and have used it myself in ARCA.WeBeRacin ' Since 1961
I didn’t know much about Alan Kulwicki other than him winning his title in 1992 but I really enjoyed this video.
You guys do the best racing history videos. Bar NONE!!!
thank you sir!
I love your videos. I was born in 1990 and my fondest memories as a kid was watching NASCAR and how great the sport use to be in those days. A Neil Bonnet video would be great.
Thanks! I appreciate the support and we are working on doing a Bonnett video!
Another great video, thanks guys!! Can't wait to see Logan's mustang cruising around!!!
Awesome to see the F.R.R.C. 1979 champion trophy. That's the Fox River Racing Club Championship Trophy from my home track W.I.R. in Kaukauna Wisconsin. 🏁 another great video buddy 👍
Thanks for another awesome video 📹.
Alan showed he was a true champion. Taken way to soon.
Great video, didn’t know the pavilion existed! Alan did it man, he climbed that mountain! Thanks 👍👍

Awesome to see his Diecast items. Thank you 🎉
Thank you for making this video. Great work!
I live in Madison Wisconsin and didn’t even know that pavilion/park in Greenfield was there. I will definitely be checking it out. Keep up the good work!
Great contact as always just imagine what history would be if this tragedy didn’t happen
Another awesome video
Another great video, The last under dog to win a championship his way.
Just started the video. Got a feeling this is going to be a rough watch. To me, no one was better than Alan and Davey.
I listen to all your history tours and I am a subscriber
thank you Edward!
