Boyd Racing's Owner Takes the Podium at December's Global Symposium

Randy Boyd, who leads the University of Tennessee System and co-owns Boyd Racing, has been named keynote speaker for the 2026 Global Symposium on Racing. The gathering runs Dec. 7-9 at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, drawing the industry's decision-makers for a few days of panels on where the sport is headed. Boyd's dual standing — a university system president who is also an active owner in the winner's circle — gives the keynote a vantage point the symposium doesn't often get from the podium.
