West TN Motorsport Photographers


Hi!! We are Micheal & Melanie King, a husband and wife team in the world of motorsports photography. We have covered many events from local dirt tracks here in West, Tennessee, to Gateway Dirt Nationals up in St. Louis, Missouri! We have also covered events in Mississippi, from track photographers for Moulton Speedway in 2018, Street Stock Nationals for 3 years in a row, to Track Photographer for Corinth Motor Speedway in 2023 & 2024.

Both of us have been rooted in the sports from the time we were children, going to local dirt tracks such as Milan Speedway. Micheal would attend events as a young teen with his family, and I (Melanie) grew up with a family who built and raced cars all across the South. Our passion for this sport is deeply rooted. We have taken our love for the sport and at first raced go-karts for a while, then transitioned to buying our first camera in 2017, and shooting for Clayhill Motorsports Park as our first gig. Shortly after that, we were offered a permanent position to shoot as a track photographer at Camden Speedway, where since then, we have picked up three tracks in 2024, such as Clayhill Motorsports Park, Camden Speedway, and Corinth Motor Speedway, as track photographers. Some night's we are able to shoot together, and there are other nights, we split and cover multiple tracks with photography, and videography. Look around and view our work or view the header of our page for our local track galleries.

Dirt Track Testimonials

Dirt Track Testimonials

“Let’s talk about our photographers, Michael and Melanie. They are a husband and wife team who devote hours and hours and countless resources to their passion. They split themselves up and cover multiple venues on the same night - they are both, without a doubt, invaluable to our success here at Clayhill Motorsports Park. They helped organize our bicycle races, they help out on our biweekly pod cast, they are a blessing.”
