Stan Boyd made his NASCAR debut in the 1998 Memphis race driving for EVI Motorsports, starting 35th and finishing 29th after ignition failure late in the race. He ran at Mesa Marin for Steve Coulter later in the year, dropping out after just two laps due to engine failure.
Boyd then ran four races in 1999 for EVI Motorsports with a best finish of 22nd at Gateway. In 2000 Boyd ran two races for John Conely, finishing a solid nineteenth at Mesa Marin.

He ran a full season with EVI in 2001, making just ten of the 25 races, but earning three top-twenty finishes including a career-best thirteenth at California.
He continued the same schedule for EVI in 2002, making thirteen races out of 25, improving on last season, but scoring just one top-twenty finish at Fort Worth. He ran the first two races of 2003 for EVI with a sixteenth at Daytona and a fifteenth at Darlington. He then ran two races for Gene Cristensen before making four races for Ware Racing Enterprises, start and parking in all of those races.

Perspective
Stan Boyd made his Busch Series debut at Dover in 2003 for MacDonald Motorsports, starting 32nd and finishing five laps down in 23rd. It was his only start of the year.
Boyd moved full-time to the Busch Series in 2004 with Ware Racing Enterprises. He attempted Daytona with the team's second car, the No. 57, with Kevin Conway as his teammate in the No. 51. Both failed to qualify. Boyd would not make another attempt until Darlington, which he made, but suffered engine failure early on and finished 41st.
Boyd moved over to the No. 51 at Bristol with Morgan Shepherd taking over the #57. Boyd qualified 33rd and finished a solid 25th, four laps down. He failed to make the next two races and then Kim Crosby ran the car at Talladega. Boyd then made California, but coming into the pits he spun, knocking two tires into his own pit crew. He finished 38th. Boyd then finished 32nd after engine failure at Gateway. Shepherd ran the No. 51 at Richmond with Travis Powell running at Nazareth. Boyd returned at Charlotte and made the field, but Joe Gibbs Racing bought them out and placed J. J. Yeley, who had failed to qualify, into the car. Boyd made the field at Dover but crashed out on lap 34, finishing 38th. David Eshleman ran the No. 51 at Nashville, but Boyd returned at Kentucky, finishing last after parking the car on lap two.
With Bobby Dotter, Kim Crosby, and Blake Mallory running the next three races, Boyd did not see another race until New Hampshire, where he had to park the car on lap seventeen as funding was decreasing. Boyd moved back to the No. 57 with Crosby running the No. 51 at Pike's Peak. Both would start and park on lap eelven. Boyd then got to run the whole Indianapolis Raceway Park race in the No. 57, finishing 27th, four laps down. Boyd then left Ware Racing to join MacDonald Motorsports.
His career with the MacDonald team began at California where he ran a backup car, the No. 71. He parked on lap ten, finishing 38th. He did not attempt any more races until Kansas, where he failed to qualify. At Memphis, Boyd ran a third car, the No. 70, but again failed to qualify. Boyd got to run the team's main No. 72 car for the final two races of the season, finishing a solid 26th just three laps down at Darlington. At Homestead-Miami he finished 32nd, four laps down. However, he wasn't kept on for 2005.
He returned to the series in 2005 at Atlanta with Means Racing, but failed to qualify. He later attempted Kentucky in 2006 with Keith Coleman Racing in the No. 23, but again failed to qualify. He has not attempted a race since.
