It’s been an absolute honor being able to represent the Kulwicki Driver Development Program this year. The way it’s helped me grow as a person on and off the track is something I will cherish and will be forever grateful for!

Today is the Final day of the 2026 KDDP competition, and we want to take a moment to thank our Fabulous Five Underbirds for everything they have done this year.

We've seen so many great moments on and off the track this season, and we can't thank our Underbirds enough for all their hard work and dedication throughout the year. It's been great watching each of them grow and seeing everything they've accomplished along the way.

We also want to thank YOU for your continued support of our program each and every year as we close out our 11th season of competition. We appreciate everyone who has followed along and supported our underbirds all year long

Most importantly, thank you for continuing to honor Alan Kulwicki's life and legacy and helping keep his memory alive. It means a lot to everyone involved with the KDDP, and we truly appreciate all your support!

But this year is not over yet; come and celebrate with all of us at our banquet on Tuesday, December 15th at the Speedway Club inside Charlotte Motor Speedway and find out who will win the 2026 Kulwicki Cup. Tickets can be purchased on our website at

LONESOME PINE RACEWAY RECAP 🏁

After qualifying P5, we worked our way forward and found ourselves racing inside the top two before the halfway break. Once the green flag dropped after the break, things got physical as everyone went to a go-heavy approach. We got bounced around and fell back to 6th, but battled our way right back to P2.

With just 26 laps remaining, a caution would stack the field back up and set the stage for the final run. Heading into Turn 1, something just didn’t feel right with the car. I made the decision to move up and try to get out of the way, only to find out we had a flat right-front tire that ultimately ended our night.

Not the finish we came for, but there’s plenty to be proud of. We showed speed, fought through the field a few times, and had a car capable of racing for the win.

Enjoyed getting to hand out goodies to all the kiddos yesterday at Lonesome Pine Speedway! The kids are such a special part of racing, and I’m always grateful for the opportunity to make their day a little brighter! 🏁

Ready to finish out our Kulwicki Driver Development Program season with one more wildcard here at Lonesome Pine Raceway! Hopefully we can cap off the season with a win to go with it!

We were able to raise an additional $750 through our T-shirt sales, and I donated another $400, bringing our total to $1,150 for Cardinal Kids!

It is truly a blessing to be able to give back and help these wonderful children and their families. Knowing that these funds will go toward making a difference in their lives makes every bit of effort worthwhile.

Thank you to everyone who purchased a shirt and helped support this cause. Every dollar makes a difference, and I’m grateful to be a small part of something that means so much.

A little recap from my race at TriCounty Speedway!

10/26/2026

We’re headed to Lonesome Pine Speedway for the first time this weekend for the Coalfield Classic 400! 🏁 Excited to check another track off the list, especially since we haven’t had as many opportunities to travel in the past.

Here’s a little racing history that makes this trip even more special! In 1982, Alan Kulwicki earned his first ASA victory at Lonesome Pine Speedway in the Southwest Oil 250. After the win, Alan credited Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) as a big factor in his success.

I think that’s some pretty great advice to carry with me into this weekend’s race! You have to believe in yourself, stay focused, and keep a positive mindset no matter what challenges come your way.

PMA all the way! 💪🏁 Let’s go make some memories at Lonesome Pine!
