Alan Kulwicki’s “Underbird,” the #7 Ford he drove the day he won the 1992 NASCAR Winston Cup title, is settling into a new nest, its owner says. Larry Bean, who restored the car, plans to move it from its current home in Daytona Beach, Fla., to the North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame in Mooresville next week. That the car will arrive in its home just in time for the 10th anniversary of Kulwicki’s death in an April 1, 1993, plane crash, is purely coincidental, Bean said.( Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ), see more info on the car at www.underbird.com .(3-21-2003) UPDATE: Contrary to some reports the #7 Underbird will NOT be at the track or do the victory lap, the car that will do the Polish victory lap is a 2nd #11 Hooters Memorial Ford [2003 model, not 1992]. Kulwicki’s real race car sits at Larry and Pam Bean’s home in Daytona, staged for transport to a new display at the North Carloina Auto Racing Hall of Fame in Mooresville, NC [Jayski was there in Dec 2002, what a great place] and the Bean’s were not invited to participate in the Bristol ceremonies.(3-23-2003)
