Ken Schrader and Joyce Standridge sign copies of GOTTA RACE! at Paducah International Raceway in Kentucky. The track has been purchased and revitalized by Kenny and his partners Bob Sargent and Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Karin Fredrickson gives the real scoop on how she won a tricycle race at the 2007 Speedway Expo in Springfield, MA. She clearly has Dave Argabright and Chris Economaki wrapped around her little finger. Standing next to her is her dad Karl, a winning modified driver and Racing Editor of Speedway Illustrated magazine. Dave and Chris came to the show with their new title, LET ' EM ALL GO.

Susan Kelly Hearn sure can sign an autograph. Here she shows an inscription of MARTIN AND TJ 'S RACE CAR REPAIR, a children’s book she wrote for Coastal 181. The popular book is perfect for early racers aged 4-7 and includes a fun tool search at the end of the story .

Left to right, that’s Pete Hamilton, Eddie Flemke, Jr, and Paula and Ronnie Bouchard at the 2007 Spring Sizzler at Stafford, CT. The occasion was the launch of Bones Bourcier’s autobiography on Eddie Flemke, Sr, STEADY EDDIE. Would you pay a dollar to know what Bones is whispering in Paula’s ear?

An oldie but goodie! The late, great Kenny Shoemaker puts his John Hancock on a fan’s head at Fonda, NY Speedway. Our very first book, THEY CALLED ME "THE SHOE", was released that night. Folks came from as far as Chicago to see Kenny, but luckily most of what he signed were books!

Who says Buggo has never been to a book store!?! Here Bugsy Stevens engages a young fan at the Barnes & Noble in Windsor, CT. BUGSY -- The Life and Times of Bugs Stevens is one of the most popular short track books ever published.

He was moving so fast, we could hardly capture him! That’s the caffeinated Kenny “The Hermanator” Wallace plugging his book INSIDE HERMAN’S WORLD at Pocono. Kenny is a wonderful, guy-next-door kind of dude. But that doesn’t mean his book is any faster than his friend Kenny Schrader’s.
