Eddie Gossage, president of Texas Motor Speedway announced his retirement on Thursday.

In a release, Speedway Motorsports, owners of TMS say Gossage will step down as president following the June 13 NASCAR All-Star Race.


Gossage, who is now 62, spent the last 25 at Texas Motor Speedway, and even more with its parent company.

"The timing just feels right after 32 years with the company," Gossage stated. "The Smith family and Speedway Motorsports changed my life and I will forever be appreciative and grateful."

"When I built Texas Motor Speedway, I had plenty of architects, accountants and attorneys, but what I really needed was promotion," said Speedway Motorsports Executive Chairman Bruton Smith. "That's where Eddie came in. They say 'everything's bigger in Texas', and I needed a big personality in Dallas/Fort Worth. Eddie's become a shrewd businessman over the years, but he's remained a publicist at heart, and he never forgot what the entertainment business is about---having FUN."
