Oklahoma stepped up in a big way for one of their own.
Big Dog Toby Keith’s family was recognized by the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority on Tuesday, March 3, 2026. They recognized the adoption of a resolution to name a new Norman, OK turnpike the “Toby Keith Expressway”.
The honor celebrates his life, patriotism, and impact on Oklahoma and the nation. It was met with a standing ovation on the Senate floor at the hearing last week. Toby never forgot where he came from, and this expressway will help carry his legacy forward for generations to come.
Well done, Oklahoma. Now if we get just get a national holiday in his honor, all of us who loved TK would be pretty happy to celebrate him every year. And God rest his soul.
