Cotter, who has written nine books,is best known for his "In The Barn" series of books on automotive archeology. Before writing, Cotter founded Cotter Group, the largest auto racing public relations and marketing agency.

Al Pearce saw his first NASCAR race in 1966 in Daytona Beach, Florida. The first race he covered was in July of 1969 at Dover, Delaware, for The Times-Herald of Newport News, Virginia. Since then, he's covered thousands of races of all types—NASCAR, IndyCar, Formula One, NHRA and IHRA drag racing, APBA powerboats, SCCA, international sports cars and weekly short-track races for Tribune Co.
