George Campbell covered NASCAR for a variety of publications in the 1990s. In 1999 George recognized a void that he filled by starting his own newsprint publication, Busch North Scene.

Within two years, George and the dedicated staff members had grown the paper into the number one selling NASCAR newspaper on newsstands throughout the northeast.

The book has fun and informative personal reflections from George and Busch North Scene staff members, as well as many of the personalities that made the series popular in the decade.

Within the books 330+ pages are over 125 photos mixed with personal reflections and amusing anecdotes on the drivers and events.
