Store Categories | Nascar Collection of Alan Kulwicki Memorabilia! Alan Dennis Kulwicki (December 14, 1954 – April 1, 1993), nicknamed "Special K" and the "Polish Prince", was an American Nascar Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series) racecar driver. He started racing at local short tracks in Wisconsin before moving up to regional stock car touring series. Kulwicki arrived at NASCAR, the highest and most expensive level of stock car racing in the United States, with no sponsor, a limited budget, and only a racecar and a borrowed pickup truck. Despite starting with meager equipment and finances, he earned the 1986 NASCAR Rookie of the Year award over drivers racing for well-funded teams. After Kulwicki won his first race at Phoenix International Raceway, he debuted what would become his trademark "Polish Victory Lap”. Kulwicki won the 1992 Winston Cup championship by what was then the closest margin in NASCAR history. He died early in 1993 in a light aircraft accident, and was unable to defend his championship. He has been inducted into numerous racing halls of fame and was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers. Kulwicki was known for being a perfectionist and doing things his own way. An engineer by trade, his scientific approach to NASCAR racing inspires the way teams are now run. He was insistent on driving for his own race team, AK Racing, during most of his NASCAR career, despite lucrative offers from top car owners. Described by his publicist as "a real hard type of person to get to know", he remained a bachelor throughout his life Memorabilia includes 1993 Champion Car and Card AUTOGRAPHED by Alan Men's Watch with Ford and Alan Kulwicki printed on it Posters including one that has 30 years of Moog Chassis Parts Cars on it, one AC All Fired Up To Win, and one Busch Daytona Drivers from 1987 Stickers that include a Hooters, Ford Racing, #7, Lg and Sm The Good Die Young (Alan, Neil and Davey), Remember Racing Greats, Zerex, and In Memory of Alan A Hooters Patch Hardees Pencil Sample Card from MB Langenberg Ltd Paperwork copies of his Winston Cup Record, Articles he wrote, ballot for his benefit car show and his Racing Club Membership Form Please keep in mind that you can save a bundle in shipping if purchasing multiple items and having us ship them together!
