Ted Tracey is a retired Speedway racing driver from New Zealand.

He started racing in 1974 with a Speedway Midget. By the last night of his first season he had made it into the 'A' grade and won a major championship that night. The person who came second to him that night was Barry Butterworth, one of the best drivers New Zealand has produced.[1]

He won the NZ Championship in 1976 - 1977 - 1978 and retired in 1993. During this final season he won a Seventh NZ Championship at Nelson and the 50 lap championship against the visiting American and Australian drivers at Western Springs. He won many championships over the years including 2 world championships, one in Auckland and one in Christchurch.

He traveled to both the US and Australia to race on three separate occasions.
