Sad new has reached us on the passing of long-time racing journalist Ken Kuhlman

Ken covered auto racing for over 50 years for various trade journals. In addition, he has handled the press relations duties at various times through the years for race tracks at Flemington, East Windsor, New Egypt, Bridgeport, Reading, Nazareth, and Syracuse, N.Y.

Ken was also one of the original volunteers that got involved in the early days of creating the link between the short track auto racing community and the Matheny School.

I remember back in the early/mid 70's, getting off of the school bus and running to the mailbox to get my Area Auto Racing News... and turning directly to Ken's "dirt trackin" column as Ken always had a way of featuring the drivers that I enjoyed reading about the most.  It is a tradition that I kept up for just shy of 50 years as Ken continued to feature stories in recent years in AARN, again, focusing on drivers and their careers that seemed to represent my favorite years.

We will miss Ken's writing and passion that he always had for the sport, but will have some comfort in knowing that the words contained in those articles will continue to bring enjoyment each time we open an AARN from back in the day, once again, turning to Ken's column to read the about our favorite drivers.

We send our condolences to the friends and Family of Ken Kuhlman at this very sad time.

Ken's earliest AARN work was reporting on the limited sportsman division at Harmony Speedway in 1966. Like Joe, I particularly enjoyed his writings throughout the years on the personalities and tracks from my favorite years, the early 1960s through the late 1970s. Sincere sympathies to Ken's family, friends and fans.

so sorry to hear this. we have lost one of the great stock car racing historians. He was the primary reason I subscribed to AARN over the years. I saved a lot of his columns in scrap books. He wrote many columns on Frankie.

He will be truly missed.

Sad to hear of Ken's passing. His support of Matheny was second to none. Condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
