Jerry Fried opened the big track at Nazareth in 1965. It was 1 1/8 mile dirt. It closed around 1973 or so. Lindy Vicari took over in '82 and redesigned the track into a one mile dirt. He sold it to Roger Penske in the late 80's who paved it. Penske, in turn, sold it to ISC. The track as it last raced was the exact size it was in '82. And ISC measured it at a tick under a mile.
