Located in Newburyport, Massachusetts, Coastal 181 began publishing racing books in 2001. We are dedicated to providing great books, DVDs, and artwork to the motorsports community. In addition to publishing our own titles, we search out the best offerings in print on short-track stock car, open-wheel Sprints and Midgets, Indy Car, drag, NASCAR, and road racing. In our own publications, we focus primarily on the history of motorsports and on stories of ordinary people achieving extraordinary things.

We have been involved in racing since the early 1960s, when we fielded our first #181 race car. We bring a deep love of racing -- the cars and the people -- to our work and our website, also reflected in the Photos of the Day page, which highlights the color, drama and sometimes humor of our particular slice of the world.

Please give us a call at 877-907-8181 toll free during business hours if you have any questions.
