Boyd’s Speedway...possible sell

[squaredup12]

Hearing rumors that David Duplissey has sold Boyd’s Speedway to a local construction company. Working on confirmation...but putting it out here for rumor’s sake anyway.

[MRM]

His house is up for sale.

[B_K]

His house is up for sale.

Yep, if anyone here would like to live on the river in Chattanooga, Tn and has $8,000,000 available it can be yours. It looks like an incredible property.

[Barbecueboy]

If I had 8 mil to spend on a home it wouldn't be in Chattanooga......I'm sure it's nice.

[HIGH ROLLER]

So where did this cat get all his $ from?

[B_K]

If I had 8 mil to spend on a home it wouldn't be in Chattanooga......I'm sure it's nice.

Pictures are on Zillow. It may be the best house I’ve ever seen......

[squaredup12]

Owned a very successful boiler company just outside Chattanooga...then sold it

[squaredup12]

Hearing from several sources that the sell of the track (and possibly his home) are related to a particular incident in the press box during/after a Boyd’s weekly show a few weeks back

[Waldo]

So he has to sale the track and his home because he got in a fight in the press box. uggggh...maybe.....yep..but then again ........I would say no.

[Waldo]

ok, my bad, maybe he is selling his home and the track because he got into a fight. I get it...........................................not

The video was all over social media. Im surprised he's not in jail.

Either the victim was a teenager or very young adult. Pretty pathetic!

[squaredup12]

Not agreeing with it...just relaying what I’ve been told from folks around Chattanooga that know him, know others close to him, and we’re at the track that night. Take it with a grain of salt.

[Waldo]

I saw the video, and I'm not agreeing with it either, but I have never seen anybody put there house and other property up for sale because they were in jail. Or just because they got in a fight. That has nothing to do with the fight.

[dirtcrazy4u]

If he got his arsh sued and has to liquidate it makes all the sense in the world. A court can confiscate any and all properties and pay off his accusers. Then you know what happens ? You get what's left. Tempers and stupidness get tuff guys in all sorts of trouble.

[riddle28]

that "fight" was way overblown, definitely not reason alone to sell everything you own lmao

[MRM]

That was Duplissey in the fight video?

[B_K]

That was Duplissey in the fight video?

Unless there’s a doppelgänger out there somewhere....

I’m still trying to figure out why the other guy just took it. He never fought back.

[dirty bert]

What got me was when he came down from the box he gave a thumbs up like he really done something.

[Barbecueboy]

Looking to get paid maybe....

[squaredup12]

It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out. If he did sell/is selling, and it is to a construction company, I hope that doesn’t spell the end of another local track...with its proximity to I-75 and the continued growth of East Ridge,it’s been suspected for a while that somebody may buy it and flip the property.

[B_K]

With all the construction in East Ridge on that side of the interstate, sadly it’s not if but when IMO.

[squaredup12]

Afraid you may be right B_K

[crownman25]

I have heard that previous owners are trying to buy it back..

[MidTnDirtFan]

The track is in a flood plain so if someone wanted to build on that property they would have to spend a lot if money to build it up. Not to mention remove the contaminated dirt from who knows what people have used to dope tires.

[squaredup12]

Bass Pro East Ridge = major flood plain....you’d be able to test waders for leaks before you bought them if somebody hadn’t of spent some money over there.

[RW57]

I read the person in the video was the grader driver was that Duplipssey or not nobody's saying for sure.

[RayCook53fan]

Umm... everybody said for sure. lol it was even on the local news.

[crownman25]

Was just told that they posted a closing announcement, but then soon after their Facebook Page was shut down. Can’t seem to find any confirmation or alternate news source for that. Their website has also been shutdown.

[squaredup12]

Not sure what happened with the link on my previous post: https://racingnews.co/2020/05/22/boyds-speedway-owner-assaults-employee-as-fans-watch-from-grandstands-video/

The Southern Nationals race for Tuesday July 14 is now going to be at I75. That's cool for me as I was going to be in the area and was planning on going to Boyds. Now I guess I am heading to I75 instead!
