**Ulysses Lindbergh "Pocono" Daniels** (May 3, 1956-June 17, 1993) was a Piston Cup West racer from 1973-1993 for Pinkcar Automotive. He was killed in the 1993 Winston All-Star Flash Challenge in a crash. He was the original winner of the 1989 title, but the title was revoked after it was found out that he had been doping with N20 Cola cans, tampered fuel, tires pumped with illegal substances, and the drugs that McQueen used for anger management, causing him to be banned forever while Pinkcar Automotive was banned from participating in any Piston Cup sanctioned series for 25 years. Pocono was a 1973 Pontiac GTO.

## Career

### 1989-1992 - Performance rise

In 1989, after 15 years of average performance, Pocono suddenly started doing much better when he won the 1989 championship by winning 4 races that year, an instant record. Then he continued doing decently in 1990, 1991, and 1992 finishing 4th, 3rd, and 4th in those years. Although some people wondered how he did that well without changing his model to anything faster, it wasn't enough to put him into doubt.

However, the secret would be exposed in 1993.

### 1993

In 1993, Pocono had rather vapid performance but won a single race in 1993 and was looking to win his second title by doing better on the second half, then came the annual Winston All-Star Flash Challenge.

### 1993 Winston All-Star Flash Challenge Race #3 and death

The Winston All-Star Flash Challenge took place in dirt track Greydirt Speedway, located in Sparkville, Nevada, the track was about 1.8 miles long and lasted 180 laps in 100 miles. It was located between race 5 and race 6 in the Piston Cup West schedule ever since 1976 when it was introduced as the Western Flash Challenge. In the first 2 races Pocono did 1st and 2nd, but then in the third, a more drastic change happened to his career.

In the third race, Elsa Caruno took pole while Daniels was fourth, and soon Daniels continued grasping on fighting for the lead and soon on lap 72 he was turned sideways into the right by Caleb Brakedrift and he crashed into a wall at 22 G-force. It was so hard that he fell into his coma and something suddenly ejected from him and exploded in the grandstands, killing spectator Samuel Lambert-Toff, revealing it was actually an N20 Cola can. It was later conducted through a hospital search that not only did he use the N20 Cola cans, traces of anger management drugs was found in his system and later on it was found in Pinkcar Autos garage there were illegal gas for tire filling and fixed fuel for Daniels to use and soon Daniels was banned forever for doping and his 1989 title was revoked and given to 1989 second-in-points Kenny MotorSpin, while his sponsor was banned from entering any Piston Cup sanctioned series for 25 years but went bankrupt in 2011. However he never recovered from his coma and died in hospital at the age of 37.

## Trivia

* Pocono Daniels suffered the same fate as Carl Tripwin did in Goldman 5000 England (and Clovis Rider did in Theonationbois' universe) as all three was caught stowing N20 Cola tanks (Daniels under him, Tripwin and Rider in their trunks) and after a heavy crash that caused all three to be in a coma and lose their lives. Coincidentally, all three died at 37.
