The first space race event was won by the Soviet Union when they successfully launched Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957. This was the world's first artificial satellite, marking a significant milestone in space exploration. The launch demonstrated the Soviet Union's advanced technological capabilities and intensified competition with the United States in the Cold War context. Sputnik's success is often seen as the beginning of the space race between the two superpowers.
The first artificial satellite into space was named sputnik and was launched by the USSR. The term "Space Race" actually applies to the race to the moon which was won by the US when the Apollo spacecraft touched down in 1969.

Well no 1 attcually knoz when the space race is going to end so...it is still going on until this day...Well, Actually the Space Race ended in about the 1980's.The Soviet Union Basically won. With sending the first Man into space, the first Woman, Sending up the first Artificial Satellite into space.

Because the space race was a theoretical race, winning would be a matter of opinion. I consider that America "won" this race when the Astronauts of Apollo 11 were the first people to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969. Many events happened following this historical event which led to the people of the world being the ultimate winner based on the use of satellite communication systems of today.
The United States won the space race by landing Neil Armstrong on the moon.
There was no race at Pocono in 1969. Nascar held its first Winston Cup event at Pocono Raceway on August 4, 1974.
