LONG POND, Pa. -- Dr. Joseph Mattioli, Pocono Raceway founder and chairman of the board, passed away Thursday at the Lehigh Valley Hospital Center, surrounded by his family, following a lengthy illness. He was 86.

He founded Pocono Raceway in the early 1960s and has been at the helm of Pocono ever since. Under his leadership, the track grew in stature and has hosted 68 Cup Series events. His passion and drive helped Pocono succeed when other tracks fell by the wayside. Pocono is the only remaining family-owned and run track on the Cup schedule.
