Everyone at the Kulwicki Driver Development Program is saddened to learn of the passing of NASCAR Hall of Famer Ned Jarrett at the age of 93

A true gentleman on and off the racetrack, and one of the greatest drivers and broadcasters that NASCAR will ever see

Our thoughts go out to the Jarrett Family and the Motorsports Community at this difficult time

We are saddened to announce the passing of one of our original founding members of KDDP, Tom Grady, who passed away last week at the age of 84.

Tom served as a voter for KDDP from 2015-2022 and also served as the attorney for Alan Kulwicki and many others in the motorsports community for many years. Tom will be greatly missed by all that knew him.

We recently kicked off a new engagement with UNC Charlotte and Professor Cindy Fox’s Marketing Strategy Consultancy class.

The class will be working on two strategic projects designed to help the Kulwicki Driver Development Program continue to grow, expand awareness, and strengthen our impact.

A special thank you to Paul Andrews, Alan Kulwicki’s crew chief, and Ryan Zeck, KDDP President, for speaking with the class about the program, Alan’s legacy, and the work being done to support the next generation of drivers.
We are excited to partner with these students and look forward to seeing their ideas take shape.
