LONG AWAITED RICHIE EVANS BOOK READY FOR CHRISTMAS

Newburyport, MA - November 8, 2004: Coastal 181, racing book publishers, announced today the availability of "RICHIE! The Fast Life and Times of NASCAR’s Greatest Modified Driver". Penned by nationally known journalist Bones Bourcier, the book is the most anticipated title ever produced about short track racing in the United States. 

From farm boy to nine-time NASCAR National Champion, Richie Evans ran a fabled race through life in the fast lane until his untimely death at Martinsville in October of 1985. Bones Bourcier was along for much of the ride as a reporter, observer and friend, and he now tells the complete and unabridged story of the man who was voted NASCAR’s greatest in the modifieds. Weaving together excerpts from hundreds of hours of interviews with competitors, crew members, friends and family members, "RICHIE!" takes us on a journey back in time when the modifieds ruled and Evans was King. 

"RICHIE!" is brought to you by Coastal 181, publishers of such racing books as "BUGSY!", "FONDA!", "Martin and TJ", and the recently released "HOT CARS COOL DRIVERS". The perfect Christmas gift for any serious racing buff, "RICHIE!" is a soft-cover volume with over 200 photographs and 360 pages. World-renowned Nextel Cup car owner, Ray Evernham, wrote a touching forward. "RICHIE!" sells for $25.95 plus $5.50 S&H and is available by calling Coastal 181 at 877-907-8181 (toll free, business hours) or online at www.coastal181.com.
