My Take
Alan Kulwicki stirs something in me that few drivers do. A Polish-American from Greenfield, Wisconsin, nicknamed the Polish Prince, he clawed his way up from local short tracks without leaning on big-money backing. What I admire most is that he ran his own team and used his engineering education from UW–Milwaukee as a weapon, a true craftsman behind the wheel. Then in 1993, at only thirty-eight, a plane crash took him. I still feel the waste of that. His Hall of Fame talent and fierce independence, that refusal to compromise his convictions, make him exactly the proud, stubborn underdog I cannot help but admire.
