Dirt track racing at its finest at this Ringgold, GA facility. Boyd's Speedway has been opened…read moresince the mid 1950's. Presently, it is owned by Dale McDowell and David Duplissey. Both are late model race car drivers and are local too. The races are on Friday or Saturday nights on the weekend. Most races are on Saturday nights but sometimes they have dirt track races on Friday nights. The cars are divided into classes which include crate late models, limited late models, steel head late models, pony, A-hobby, B-hobby and sometimes they even have special event racing like road warriors and topless late models. The admission is $12 for the grand stands if you are a race fan. Now, pit passes are $25 for all crew members, owners, drivers and etc. I sat on the grand stands in a couple places and you can view the race track pretty good as I really enjoyed it and it was very entertaining. The concession stands are easily accessible with no lines I encountered both times I visited them. They have ham burgers, hot dogs, nachos with cheese, cokes, Dr. Pepper, Sprite and even sweet tea. I had no problem finding a parking space and most importantly was able to leave the track with getting into a traffic jam. This area is what I call a "loud area" with a Drag Strip close by, a rock company nearby, and an interstate nearby too. Now just down the road is Cabelas. So check out that sporting goods store before coming here. All of this is on the same road within one mile. Just turn right leaving the track.

Good value for your money. 20 bucks get you General Admission ticket to seat almost anywhere…read more Concessions are EXTREMELY affordable. Me and my two sons got a burger, a Bologna burger, nachos, a water, two Poweraids and a coke for 17 bucks. Beers were Bud Light, Micelob and Yingling, 4 bucks a pop. Tall ones at that, only lighter choices though. The only problem I has was trying to find ANYWHERE on their FB page or website the policy on outside food/drink. Signs outside said no. However, MANY people people brought it in. I saw Popeyes and Sonic drinks, plenty of folks with Igloo coolers with sandwiches. So.... unsure what the deal on it it. No one checked bags or anything so I'm taking some IPAs next time. Still pay for beer to give my business, but enjoy my own beer choice. Parking is easy and free, that was a plus. Their staff is extremely friendly and polite. Helpful and seem to enjoy their job. Would you wanna go to an event where the people working were sad sacks? Me ether. FYI, if you sit in Turn 1, be prepared to eat a LOT of dust. Take some hearing protection for the bigger races and eye protection.

This is the best local race track I have ever been to. This goes all across the South. I been to…read morelocal race tracks in Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. Here is why it is 5 stars. Easy self parking, reasonable admission, concession stands are usually short lines or fast serving, and most of all, you can see the whole race track. Whoever, built this track had all those things in mind. There is great entertainment when they have races here too. I have been here numerous times and had fun every time. I have never come here and not had fun In summary, self parking, reasonable admission, like the concession stands, you can see the whole track from every seat. When you leave, there is no problem with traffic getting out.

I enjoyed the races this evening…read morebut they were a little slow in getting things started and they kept messing around while the rain was coming at 11pm. I didn't get to see the crate late models or super late models race because of rain. The concession stands had no lines and had great food like hamburgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, candy bars, pickles and etc. Their drinks are only $1 which is a pretty good price. Parking: you can park where ever you wanted as it was self parking. I was able to get in and out of the track easily with no problem. The bathroom facilities at the track with faucets so you can wash your hands. They are located next to the concession stand behind the grand stands. Looks like you can park up next to the track and watch the race from the back of your pick up truck. This costs extra the guy said at the gate. I chose grand stands seating which was $12. Entertainment: they race ponies, crate late models, super late models, sportsman, b hobbies here. I saw some great racing here before that races were cancelled because of rain.

"The fastest show on Dirt"! And this is the first race of the season this Memorial Day Weekend…read moresince last November. Hope folks still remember how to drive. When your weekend is looking like another stay at home ordinance, thus was a fun little unplanned diversion on our 520 mile trek to Atlanta. Big Mike coming over the broken PA and loud cars speeding around the dirt. Heck who knew anything like this would happen. I guess this is phase 1 or 2 of the patchwork-reopening. People are still practicing social distancing but just barely. However, I did notice that you could serve your own condiments at the concession stand. We arrived 2 hours early at 5pm but things didn't get started until after 7pm. We had a couple of cheese burgers and chicken tenders with two waters for $14. Not bad. $10pp to park and entrance fee to the speedway. This is 3/8 oval dirt track. They have bleachers but many folks brought their own chairs. We travel with ours everywhere so we did the same. Next to the wooden bleachers is grass and people were perched there as well. The track is watered down to prevent dustbowls. You should bring ear protection. We didn't this time although we could have purchased earplugs for $1 each. There were 8 different divisions with 4 cylinder to 8 cylinder and AWD and FWD cars. After sitting on a lawnmower for 3 hours I probably was half deaf anyway so the noise really didn't bother me as much, but Nicole and the little one didn't make it past the "hot laps", the introductory practice laps, which was fine by me since we'd been waiting for more than 2 hours and still had another 2.5 hours to drive to Atlanta.

Formerly Murphy Speedway, this is now a 3/8 oval track instead of a 5/8 oval. Yes, it's been…read moreredone. It's a lot nicer since the first time I came which was about 10 years ago. It has been improved but still needs more improvements. Location; take exit 60 off Interstate 75 and go west for about 4 miles and you will see a sign on the left. You will come up on a V where you decide to either go to the right for the grand stands or go to the left for the pits or tail gate parking. I of course chose to go to the left. The concession stand in the tier parking area was fast and friendly. I used my pick up and parked in the tier parking area. Just back your truck up and pull down the tail gate to watch the race. You can see most of the track from the so called "tier parking" which is what I call pick up truck or tail gate parking. One thing they need is a bathroom facility complete with water and a sink to wash your hands and etc. I saw only one portable stall to go to the bath room on the tier parking area. The dirt track racing was very entertaining and I would come back again. John Ownbey won the late model race on a Friday night while a Chevroltet Performance sponsored event. So this was a big race with lots of cars here tonight.

Fun to watch dirt track racing. The staff is friendly. Many different cars to see race.read more

Great race track, plain and simple. I had a lot of fun here. I got a pit pass which let me go…read moreanywhere I wanted on the race track. I entered thru the grandstands and eventually made it to the pits. I rate a race track on the following: parking, facilities, concession stands, service, and entertainment. This track passed all of these. I was able to park in an area where I could easily leave when I wanted to. No need to pay for parking across the street from the pit entrance which was charging $2. Just park at the main entrance for free and walk over to the pits from the grand stand area. This way you can walk freely wherever you want on the track with a pit pass. They had bathroom facilities in both the grandstands and pit areas. There was running water with soap and paper towels in the bathrooms. The concession stands were easily accessible and had great food with manageable lines. The food was great as I got a corn dog and a hot dog for my two visits to the concession stand. You can also get canned drinks like cokes, Sprite, mellow yellow, and mr pibb. Everyone was in a great mood including the people that work here. I had a good time walking thru the pits, talking to pit crew members and drivers, watching the cars in the pits, seeing the haulers bring in the race cars and of course watching the races. Jonathan Davenport won the late model race this Memorial Day 2016. He put on a good show with David Payne by passing him with a slide job to the lead. I was very well entertained as I saw a great race.

I like this race track. I just wish it wasn't so far from where I live. They have 3 entrances which…read moreis grandstands, tier parking and pits. Signs guide you to where you want to go. The first entrance is the grandstands. The second entrance is tier parking. The third entrance is the pits entrance. I review race tracks on 4 different categories: parking, concession stand, bathroom facilities and view of track. I chose tier parking which you can use your pickup truck to watch the race. I like this in the fact that you can back up your truck and pull the tail gate down, sit and watch the race. I brought my lawn chair and placed it in the back of the truck to watch the race in comfort. One important note is that if you want to park in this section, get here early because it fills up early. I saw some trucks pay and couldn't find a parking place. They have concessions stands in the grandstands, tier parking and the pits. So, it does not matter where you want to go, you can get food and drinks nearby. They have nachos and cheese, hamburgers, cokes, hot dogs, candy, cheeseburgers, hot chocolate, sweet tea, coffee, pop corn and etc. There's usually no lines at the concession stand or not much of one. They have bathroom facilities with running water, paper towels and soap to wash your hands. They have garbage cans throughout the track grounds for your garbage. I saw no lines in the bathrooms. My view of the track was great as I was able to see the race cars all around the track. There was nothing blocking my view of seeing the race cars drive around the oval dirt track. Parking and leaving: There was no problem parking as it is self parking from what I saw. There was no traffic problems leaving either It seems they have big races here and they don't race every weekend. Like them on Facebook to view their schedule. The first time I came here they had the All Star Series here in which the number 157 Mike Marlar won the race. The second time I came here they had the World of Outlaws racing series here in which Scott Bloomquist won the race. They will also have the Lucas Oil Series here in a few weeks visiting. The third time I came this year Donald McIntosh won the Ultimate Super Late Model series race. I went to the pits and talked to Ray Cook's pit crew member who said they had a brand new race car that has never hit the track and they been working on it several weeks. Sadly, it was totaled in this race on 6/18/2016. What I don't like about this race track is that they don't water the track down enough. Therefore, it is extremely dusty that I can't stand it. I can't enjoy the race with all the dust getting in my eyes, all over my truck, all over my clothes and in my chair. Oh, yes, breathing in the dust makes it almost not enjoyable at all. They just need to use more water in wetting the track down and I bet a lot more race fans will show up. It's a shame that they have all these big races here but you can't enjoy the races with all the dust.

If you want a chair, make sure to bring one to sit on. The turnout was good and the pricing was reasonable. They have a nice snack bar area that is outside so you can watch the races while you wait in line. I would definitely recommend the races for great entertainment, especially for a family.

And this event is $40 for a grandstand ticket (which is psychotic) and you have to arrive hours in advance just to get a ticket. Tailgating parking was unavailable at 1045 this morning. You guys have to do better. The fan experience here is a train wreck. To top it off, the men's restroom is closed and literally 3000+ men have to only share 2, yes 2 port a potties. Owners, get your act together. For 40$ a ticket, I expect to be able to pee like a human. Staff is great, management is trash
