Racing career

Camping World Truck Series

Boyd debuted in 2016, driving for MB Motorsports at Martinsville Speedway. A crash hampered his efforts, and he finished 28th. Six races later at Gateway Motorsports Park, he drove Premium Motorsports' No. 49 truck to a top twenty finish (19th). He then returned to the series for the Ford EcoBoost 300, driving MAKE Motorsports' No. 50 truck.[1]

Boyd joined Rick Ware Racing's Truck Series team in 2017, splitting the No. 12 truck with Cody Ware.[2] He failed to qualify at Daytona International Speedway but finished a respectable 20th in his next attempt, at Kansas Speedway. He was shuffled to Beaver Motorsports' No. 50 the following week, and finished 20th again.[3] With the disbanding of RWR's Truck operation, the rest of his scheduled starts did not happen. However, Boyd did run the Fred's 250 at Talladega Superspeedway with Copp Motorsports, running as high as fourth before getting caught up in a last-lap wreck to finish 13th.[4]

Xfinity Series

Boyd debuted in 2016, driving for Rick Ware Racing at Iowa Speedway. Starting last in the 40-car field, he improved eleven positions during the race to finish 16 laps down in 29th. Boyd then signed on with Obaika Racing, driving the No. 77 to a 35th-place finish at Chicagoland Speedway.[5] On June 5, 2017, it was announced that Boyd would run multiple races in the 2017 NASCAR Xfinity Series season for SS-Green Light Racing, replacing normal driver Ray Black Jr.[6] The deal with SS-Green Light was contingent on sponsorship; running with funding from Grunt Style, Boyd has cracked the top thirty once so far in 2017.[7] In October 2017, it was announced that Boyd would compete full-time in 2018, driving the No. 76 Chevrolet for SS-Green Light Racing.

Personal life

Boyd attends Strayer University after graduating Rowan-Cabarrus Community College.[8] Before becoming a full-time NASCAR driver, Boyd sold cars in Concord, North Carolina.[9]
