(Photo by ISC Archives via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kulwicki started his racing career at local short tracks before moving to stock car racing and onto the national NASCAR stage. In 1986, Kulwicki was named NASCAR Rookie of the Year and won the 1992 Winston Cup Championship. Kulwicki\u2019s career ended in a tragic plane crash in 1993; five years later he was named one of NASCAR\u2019s 50 greatest drivers.<\/p>\n<p>One of the few NASCAR drivers at the time who had a college education, Kulwicki was on the leading edge of the now common practice of using technology to make his car run faster. He remains influential, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nascar.com\/news-media\/2019\/01\/23\/nascar-hall-of-fame-inductee-alan-kulwicki-did-things-his-way\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to a NASCAR.com story<\/a>: \u201cHe is having a very real impact on the future because of his unique past. Equipped with a college degree in engineering, Kulwicki used a different path to his racing success. At various times and junctures in his career Kulwicki was the lone driver on the grid, even a rare mechanic in the garage, who had formally studied engineering and received a college degree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kulwicki once summed up the impact of his 51ÁÔÆæ experience: \u201cGetting the education may have put me behind schedule a few years with my racing career, but it is paying off\u2026It has definitely been essential in the success of operating my own team. It\u2019s an asset that I\u2019m proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_66964\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66964\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-66964\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2019\/02\/Kulwicki2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"A man kneels next to his race car. \" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-66964\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alan Kulwicki prepares for his second career NASCAR Cup start, the Delaware 500 at Dover Downs International Speedway.

(Photo by ISC Archives via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At 51ÁÔÆæ, Kulwicki\u2019s legacy lives on through the Kulwicki Pit Stop, a meeting space in the 51ÁÔÆæ Engineering &amp; Mathematical Sciences building, and the Alan Kulwicki Memorial Scholarship, awarded to 51ÁÔÆæ undergraduate engineering students with financial need and a demonstrated interest in mechanical engineering and\/or motorsports. The funds for both initiatives were established by Kulwicki\u2019s stepmother, Thelma H. Kulwicki.<\/p>\n<p>Honoring Kulwicki\u2019s induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, the College of Engineering &amp; Applied Science is reimagining and remodeling the Kulwicki Pit Stop and revealing it under a new name \u2013 the Kulwicki Garage. The new Kulwicki Garage will be a space for students in engineering and other disciplines to collaborate and innovate as a \u201cthinkerspace,\u201d and nontraditional classroom-style room. The Kulwicki Garage also has potential to be used for public events and thought-provoking programs including pop-up workshops and speaker series, entrepreneur-in-residence \u201coffice hours\u201d and student meet-up sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Replacing the front wall with a garage door will expand the capacity \u2013 and invite more students, visitors and industry partners to stop in. The Kulwicki Garage will have tools for creative thinking and collaborative problem-solving, such as massive wall-mounted whiteboards, low-resolution prototyping materials for conceptual design and idea sharing, audio-video equipment for sharing design research and ideas and movable flexible furniture allowing for various room configurations.<\/p>\n<p>The reopening of the Kulwicki Garage is set tentatively for Fall 2019. While 75 percent of the funds have been provided by the Thelma H. Kulwicki University Charitable Lead Annuity Trust, 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s College of Engineering &amp; Applied Science is raising funds for the remainder.
