Just for fun, and to help get rid of the troll questions: Who won the very first race held at Pocono Raceway after it opened? (Could be any driver from any series, the very first driver to win a race there.)

    The first driver to win on the 2.5 mile track was Mark Donahue in a USAC Indy car in 1971.

    The track opened as a 3/4 mile dirt track I believe in 1968
