Located in Benton County just outside of Boswell, this track has been a racing landmark dating back to the 1960's.
The track owners, Michael and Kim Daugherty, have a very different background in racing. Kim has grown up around racing and helped the Johnsons back when they owned the track. Michael, while married to Kim, watched his first circle track race in 2006 at this speedway. After that, Michael purchased a car and began his racing career.
Along with their son, Michael Jr., Michael and Kim have been racing around Indiana and Illinois in the UMP Stock Car class since 2007. As they have visited tracks, they have found things that are great at other tracks, as well as things they dislike. With this experience, they have come together to establish Daugherty Motor Speedway with the goal of having excellent customer service and exciting racing every Saturday Night.
When the track initially went up for Sheriff Sale in 2011, Michael went to the auction to find it had been cancelled. Two years later, Michael decided to make an attempt at contacting the selling Realtor to discuss a possible purchase. With the help of Benton County, the dream became a reality in 2013.We are UMP Sanctioned and a UMP license is required by all drivers in all classes after 5/17/2014.
