INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY: Today we want to wish all of our supporters a Happy International Women’s Day from Bud’s Speedway.

Women play an important role in motorsports, and while our small-town racing community had one only one woman, Stephanie Boutlier, compete full-time last year, we hope to see more women take to the track in the years ahead.

With that being said, there is certainly no shortage of incredible women at the race track. From the mothers, sisters, spouses, etc supporting our race teams, to the fans in the stands and the women who help keep things running behind the scenes, you are all a huge part of what makes Bud’s Speedway special.

Today we celebrate you, and we hope to inspire the next generation of women to get behind the wheel, or behind the scenes, and become part of the future of racing at Bud’s Speedway.

Tag the woman who helps keep you on track, and let her know how much you appreciate everything she does for a chance to win a pair of tickets for our season opener happening on JUNE 13th, 2026!

Please Note: You must be following our page to win. Any entries from those who are not following will not be valid.
