Boyd’s Speedway first opened as a clay oval in 1952 by its namesake, E.A. Boyd. From 1962 to 1976, it operated as a paved track, attracting several NASCAR legends such as the Allisons and the Pettys, who made laps and scored victories here. In 1977, the track was converted back to a dirt track.
Over the years, Boyd’s Speedway has seen several owners and promoters, including the founder’s son, Butch Boyd. The speedway has also undergone numerous name changes, including Chattanooga International Raceway, Chattanooga Raceway Park, Tennessee-Georgia Speedway, Stateline Speedway, and Tennessee Georgia Raceway. Despite the various official names, racers and fans always favored the original name.
In December 2020, the Russell family acquired Boyd’s Speedway and immediately began making improvements, focusing on family fun and entertainment.
