West Virginia Motor Speedway, a premier venue of dirt track racing in West Virginia, proudly welcomes a new owner. Goldvein, VA’s, Mike & Becky Hurley have finalized plans to purchase the track and are set to guide the Speedway into an exciting new era.

Mike Hurley, a successful entrepreneur and lifelong dirt track racing enthusiast, brings a wealth of experience and passion to the role. As founder of the largest privately owned pest and wildlife control company in the nation, Hurley built a booming business that operated in 14 states from the ground up. A testament to his leadership and vision.

“My heart has always been in dirt track racing,” said Hurley. “This is more than just a business opportunity. It’s a way to give back to the sport I love and the fans who make it all possible. We’re ready to breathe new life into West Virginia Motor Speedway and make it a premier destination for racing in the country.”

Hurley’s passion for the sport is evident through his ongoing partnerships with standout drivers Kyle Hardy and Gregory Carrico, both of whom exemplify the competitive spirit and excitement that Hurley aims to bring to every event. His goal is to enhance the fan experience, support local and regional drivers, modernize the facility, and build a new short track for teams and fans.

Both natives of West Virginia, the husband and wife team plan a series of upgrades to West Virginia Motor Speedway. The biggest will be a new 3/8 mile red clay dirt track. In addition, added fan amenities, increased lighting, modernizing the facility, and a slate of high-profile events designed to grow attendance and engagement. These enhancements are geared toward driving a next-level experience for both fans and drivers alike well into the future.

Mike resides in Fredericksburg, Virginia, with his wife Becky Hurley, and continues to invest in both his business ventures and the sport of dirt track racing with equal enthusiasm. He plans to be active at the speedway while working with recent promoter, Cody Watson to assist in a smooth transition and bring WVMS into the future.

Hurley plans to complete the short track in time to host a few events later this summer. While already planning for a bigger slate of events in 2026. Fans are encouraged to follow the latest updates and announcements by visiting www.WVMotorSpeedway.com!
