BUGSY! — The Life and Times
of Bugs Stevens, three-time NASCAR
National Modified Champion



By Bones Bourcier

Modified fans everywhere know the legendary name Bugsy Stevens, and his amazing story has at last been told. Whether tooling around the tiny bull rings in Texas while in the service, or driving the famous NASCAR ovals nearer his Massachusetts home, or competing on the high banks of Daytona International, Bugsy Stevens did it all with the skill of a seasoned professional and the merriment of a Saturday night beer hall.

Stevens’ perspective is profound and touching, as he deals deeply with issues such as racing ethics, driving styles, track types, and even the deaths of so many of his buddies. Told to his friend Bones Bourcier, an internationally acclaimed motorsports journalist.

THE OLD MASTER:
the Frankie Schneider Story


with Dennis Keenan

Dennis Keenan has done an extraordinary job in recapturing the long and colorful racing life of Frankie Schneider, the East Coast’s undisputed King of the Modifieds.

The story starts at Flemington, NJ in 1947 in a battered ’37 Ford coach with numbers drawn in lipstick. It weaves year by year to the present, including Grand National, convertible, open wheel, and road racing adventures, all over the country.

It ends up with Frankie’s surprise 80th birthday. It becomes crystal clear to the reader that, regardless what happens to racing in the future, there will never be another Frankie Schneider.

Soft cover, black and white photography,
184 pages.
