Pocono Raceway President and C-E-O Brandon Igdalsky has resigned to join NASCAR as managing director of event marketing and promotion. As a result, Nick Igdalsky – Brandon’s brother – has been elevated to chief executive officer at “The Tricky Triangle” with Ben May filling the role of track president. The Igdalskys are grandsons of Pocono Raceway founders Doctor Joseph and Doctor Rose Mattioli.
