The situation later boiled over into the truck garage, culminating in Decker taking Boyd's hat off his head and slamming it on the ground before being verbally warned by a NASCAR official and escorted away by her team.^[8] On July 30, days before theEldora Dirt Derby, Boyd announced he would withdraw from the race due to back pain that was exacerbated when he decided to compete in the previous week'sGander RV 150 at Pocono against his doctor's suggestions.Landon Huffman replaced him in the No. 20 for Eldora.^[9]

Boyd won his first career NASCAR race in the2019 Sugarlands Shine 250 atTalladega Superspeedway on October 12, 2019. After crossing the finish line second behindJohnny Sauter, Boyd was declared the winner by NASCAR after the conclusion of the race after Sauter was penalized for both blockingRiley Herbst below the inside yellow line and driving his truck below the inside yellow line.
