The family of late NASCAR champion Alan Kulwicki is donating money to two schools, one in Milwaukee.
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) -- The family of late NASCAR champion Alan Kulwicki is donating $1.9 million to the motorsports engineering program at UNC-Charlotte.
   The largest gift ever made to the engineering school will be used for annual scholarships and the construction of a new building.
   The school's board of trustees will rename the existing research laboratory the Alan D. Kulwicki Motorsports Laboratory in recognition of the donation.
   The program is in its 10th year, and produces about 10 percent of the engineers currently working in NASCAR.
   The Kulwicki family is also donating $630,000 to his alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He received a mechanical engineering degree from the school in 1977.
