Awesome segment. So many in the NASCAR community still miss Alan to this day. His amazing run in 1992 is still talked about to this day.

Alan Kulwicki gone but not forgotten! Alan was a friend to everyone, he help others when they needed help. He showed the world how a private ownership racing team could race the best in Nascar and still come out on top and win a championship. He also is remembered for his still going Charities and don`t forget he gave us the Polish Victory Lap. Sad he died at such a young age as others in the sport of racing have. We all remember and always will !

From what I understand this was a family member I never got to meet passed away before I was old enough to know him...ashame too seemed like a great man from everything I seen

He was an engineer and did it all himself. Truly amazing, and Larson did the polish victory lap yesterday after his win.
