George Campbell of Turner will be signing copies of his new book, “Busch North Scene: The Busch Years 1987-2007,” at the Northeast Motorsports Expo being held Jan. 6-8 in Augusta. Several of the drivers that appear in the book and on the cover will be making appearances at the show to sign copies, as well including NASCAR Champions Andy Santerre, Brad Leighton and Kelly Moore, as stated in a news release.

The new book recaps the racers, teams and events that shaped the NASCAR Busch North Series from 1987 through 2007. Those were the years that the northeast- based autoracing series was sponsored by Busch Beer. The book contains fun and informative personal reflections from Campbell and Busch North Scene staff members, as well as many of the personalities that made the series popular.

The book contains 400 pages and over 150 photos. Among the drivers covered are Maine racers Ricky Craven, Santerre, Joe Bessey, Mike Rowe, Dick McCabe, Bruce Haley, Tracy Gordon and Moore. The book has a chapter titled ‘Maine’ that takes a close look at the racers and tracks that were vital to the growth of the series in its early years.

The book is a follow-up to Campbell’s first book, “Busch North Scene — A Ten Year Retrospective,” which recapped the 2000 decade in the popular NASCAR series. Copies of both books will be available at the event.
