Among the first drivers inducted into the New England Auto Racing
Hall of Fame in 1998, Bouchard began his career at Massachusetts
former Brookline Speedway. He went on to become a dominate force
within the regions modified division capturing over 200 feature
victories and numerous championships. He is remembered on a national
level for his achievements when he moved down south with Jack Beebe
in the Race Hill Farms #47 with long time local crew chief Bob
Johnson. In only his eleventh Winston Cup start, he captured the
1981 Talladega 500. That victory helped him win Winston Cup Rookie
of the Year honors in 1981. Bouchard retired from competition in
1987.
