"Dare to Dream: The Alan Kulwicki Story" was written and produced by Wisconsin fans of the late great 1992 NASCAR Winston Cup champ. The movie chronicles Alan's life from his beginnings in the short tracks of Wisconsin to his death while flying to Bristol Motor Speedway on April 1, 1993. Alan went down south to Charlotte with limited money, a borrowed truck, and a dream.

Footage was taped at Lowes Motor Speedway at Charlotte (NC), Slinger Speedway at Slinger (WI), and Wisconsin Internation Raceway (WIR) at Kaukauna (WI). I was fortunate to be in the crowd the night of taping at WIR.

The film is clearly a low budget production. The storyline is occasionally hard to follow, even to serious Kulwicki fans like me.

The film is a good representation of Alan and his career, considering the low budget. Don't expect a polished Hollywood production.

In 1986, he didn't even have a car, but within a few short years, he had won the Winston Cup championship and the esteem of fellow drivers and fans. This is his story, from his humble beginnings to his tragic death in a plane crash.
