Goss and Hubbard raised the amount through their racing enterprise, Lou Goss Racing, to support the college’s Kulwicki scholarships, in honor of the late alum and race car driver Alan Kulwicki.

Louis Goss (’12 BS Mechanical Engineering), a stock car racer and co-owner of a Late Moderns racing team based in Green Bay, presented a check to Dean Brett Peters for nearly $4,300 that he and business partner Mike Hubbard raised during the past racing season.

The gift honors the legacy of Wisconsin racer and UWM alum Alan Kulwicki (’77 BS Mechanical Engineering) and augments the Alan Kulwicki Memorial Scholarship fund, which supports a UWM undergraduate in that discipline.

Goss was a recipient of the Kulwicki scholarship when he attended UWM and said he wanted to pay it forward. The ceremony included Habib Rahman, professor and chair, mechanical engineering.

Goss plans to post the picture of the presentation on his social media pages, Facebook and X (@lougossracing), along with a QR code so that others can give to the fund online.

Kulwicki applied his UWM degree to his skill in race car driving to achieve success on the track. He was on the cutting edge of an increasing emphasis on technology in the sport. Despite his death in a plane crash in 1993, Kulwicki’s legacy lives on. He was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2019.
