Today marks the 25th anniversary passing of 1992 Winston Cup champion Alan Kulwicki, who was killed in a plane crash on the way to Bristol Motor Speedway on April 1, 1993. Although his career was short lived, he put his name in the NASCAR history books by winning the championship as an owner/driver, the last to do it being Richard Petty in 1979, and later Tony Stewart would accomplish that feat in 2011.

It may have been 25 years, but we'll never forget AK and the dream he had that led him to the Winston Cup championship in only 8 years of Winston Cup competition. RIP Alan (12/14/1954-4/1/1993). We follow all 5 of Kulwicki's victories, beginning at Phoenix in 1988 to Pocono in 1992, his championship winning race at Atlanta, his Winston Cup speech during the 1992 Winston Cup Awards Banquet in New York City, and the ESPN tribute that they put together for Kulwicki.

Also, I do know the tribute at the end was supposed to be "My Way" by Frank Sinatra, but I didn't want to catch copyright issues. Races featured: 1988 Checker 500 at Phoenix 1990 AC/Delco 500 at Rockingham 1991 Bud 500 at Bristol 1992 Food City 500 at Bristol 1992 Champion Spark Plug 500 at Pocono 1992 Hooters 500 at Atlanta 1993 Food City 500 at Bristol
