I didnt want to go to high school that day; I felt sick. The 1992 season was a tough one for me, rooting for either Alan, Bill, or Davey to win the title.I couldnt choose a favourite, but when I saw Alan win it, I couldnt have been more proud. Looking back now, Alans and ultimately Daveys untimely deaths have never been far from my memory bank. It was a sad 1993,on the heels of a tremendously awesome 1992, highlighted by the 'Underbird' and Kulwicki winning the Winston Cup!Schreibnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-49131029356554684412012-04-03T13:27:01.134-04:002012-04-03T13:27:01.134-04:00Alan Kulwicki was and STILL is one of my NASCAR he...Alan Kulwicki was and STILL is one of my NASCAR hero's. 19 years ago on that fateful Thursday night I sat in the Nashville Marriott during the wicked storm that claimed Alan and his friends from Hooters. I was with friends going to Bristol to see the Spring race that weekend. When we heard Alan had died the next morning over the TV, I was heartbroken and decided to fly home instead of going to the race. He was one of a kind. NASCAR isn't the same without him. Coincidentally, he died the same day (April 1) as my brother did last year (of pancreatic cancer) so it was a doubly sad weekend for me.<br /><br /><br />Doug from NJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-6016018694493805362012-04-03T12:50:17.267-04:002012-04-03T12:50:17.267-04:00Stories of Alan, Davey, and Tim Richmond need to b...Stories of Alan, Davey, and Tim Richmond need to be told often so that they, and others that left us and the sport too often, aren't forgotten.
