Tyler County Speedway Gets Major Facelift
The Tyler County Speedway, under the direction of Hometown Racing Association (2013-current), with help from the Tyler County Fairboard, Tyler County Board of Education, several tremendous sponsors and volunteers along with support of the Bullring Boosters, has undergone a major face lift within the last ten years. Projects like new electric and track lighting, a state-of-the-art new press tower, a much larger working pit tower, new concession buildings, a new pavilion for fans to find some shade, new guardrail and track lights for safety, new track resurfacing twice, new infield drainage, and many more renovations that have the facility looking better than ever.
The biggest upgrade upon the facility was the replacement of the four-decade old block and board bleacher structure with a modern elevated aluminum bleacher seating complete with walkways, stairways and handrails.
We have come to a pivotal time in auto racing as the younger generation demands a more fan friendly interactive experience while our older fans require a more fan friendly and most importantly safer structure to enjoy their Saturday Night entertainment. Therefore, continuous upgrades and improvements to modernize our infrastructure and continue efforts to make Tyler County Speedway one of the nations premier short tracks of the future vital as it moves towards five decades of existence.
