Ricky Durst will join the Pocono Raceway management staff as Director of Ticket Operations, Raceway officials announced today. Durst comes to Pocono Raceway after having spent the past three years working in the non-profit sector at Pocono Health System focusing on cause marketing initiatives to benefit the new Dale and Frances Hughes Cancer Center. Prior to this, Durst cut his teeth in the resort and hospitality industry, working most recently for Camelback Ski Area and Camelbeach Water Park managing media and public relations, as well as, new business development programs.
“I always thought ‘an offer you couldn’t refuse’ was just a legendary line from an iconic movie; to be able to join this renowned organization at this moment in time is a tremendous honor,” Durst, a graduate of Middlebury College with a degree in American Civilization, said. “The Mattioli family has been the standard of excellence in the Pocono Mountains for generations. This, combined with the excitement of NASCAR and a progressive commitment to environmental stewardship presents an unrivaled opportunity.”
“Ricky Durst will be a tremendous addition to the Pocono Raceway management staff,” stated Raceway President and CEO, Brandon Igdalsky. “He will oversee all aspects of the Raceway’s ticketing department and help lead “The Tricky Triangle” into the next exciting chapter of the Raceway’s future.”
