Pocono Raceway
by Gene A. Card
Gene A. Card has
assembled a collection of photographs from various sources,
including the Pocono Raceway’s archives, to produce a pictorial
history chronicling the raceway.
The framework for the creation of Pocono Raceway began in the late
1950s, when a group of investors formed Racing Incorporated. In
1962, a spinach farm near Long Pond, Pennsylvania, was chosen as the
site for the multi-faceted racing complex. Construction on the track
began in 1965, but progress moved very slowly. The
three-quarter-mile oval portion of the facility was completed in
1968, but it was not until 1971 that the two-and-a-half-mile super
speedway was ready for competition.
From its humble beginnings, Pocono Raceway has grown to attract over
100,000 spectators to both of its NASCAR events each year.
Soft cover, 128 pages, 200 black and white photographs.
