OK, more IROC trivia.

The first IROC series was a true International Race of Champions. What cars were used the first two years, who won the very first race, and what year did IROC originate?

I'll answer Dave's question about Earnhardt and the IROC race in '90. Was it Dale's first win in a Dodge?

The #98 Grey Rock Chevy....Richie Panch in '75 at Pocono?

[Gary J]

I attended that IROC .Porsche was the car. It was Daytona, I think Mark Donahue won , Bobby Unser and Peter Revson were real close at the finish line , 3rd place maybe . Modifieds also raced on the road course that day. 1974 ,that is all I remember about the IROC that day.

Bosco Lowe & Nelson Stacey

[Jimmy McKinley]

You're real close, Gary Daytona wasn't the first race, though. You're off on the year

[Gary J]

Maybe it was the last event, Riverside could have been 1st. Lucky to remember a race I went to so long ago. can't remember from Sunshine that long ago.
