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. |
