The Iron Bowl Speedway was a 3/8th-mile oval dirt track speedway used for auto racing in the 1940s and 1950s. It was located on Tarrant-Huffman Road, in a ravine also known as Boggs Hollow across from Higgins Cemetery.

J. P. Rotton and Shine Franklin opened the track in 1939. Franklin promoted mostly IMCA races until closing for World War II in 1942. After activities resumed in 1946 most of the races were for stock cars. Johnny Garrison was the track's flag man.

The Iron Bowl Speedway closed in 1961.
