The Pennsylvania 500 started in 1974 as the Purolator 500 and fans were treated to a victory by The King, Richard Petty. Petty won the race again in ’76 and then gave way to legends like Bill Elliot and Dale Earnhardt in the 1980s. Starting in 2007, the race was moved from its traditional July date into August, swapping dates with the Allstate 400 at The Brickyard.

In 2008, Sunoco, the official NASCAR fuel supplier, based in Pennsylvania, and the Philadelphia region of the American Red Cross, agreed to sponsorship of the race and charity events to benefit the American Red Cross South Pennsylvania-Philadelphia region.
