“We are excited to have Mike and Ryan aboard,” said Igdalsky. “Both of these men have diverse backgrounds and share in our vision of exceeding guests’ expectations. Bob has done a tremendous job for us and in his new role, he can continue to ensure we are properly honoring those who give so much for our freedoms.”

Pallo, who has worked at Pocono since 1978, was named to the newly created position of Vice President, Military Affairs. In his previous role in corporate sales, Pallo helped establish a large military presence at Pocono. He was responsible for securing the first military flyby for a NASCAR event at Pocono in 1984 and has continued to ensure veterans are honored and participate in all major events at Pocono.
