With gray skies and intermittent rain showers over the Milwaukee Mile, Ty Majeski used pit strategy and fresh tires to charge through the field for his first career win at the historic one mile oval. The ARCA Midwest Tour Father’s Day 100 was declared official after 81 laps when heavy rain moved into the area.
Prior to the ARCA Midwest Tour event, the Midwest Truck Series took to the track for the Belgard Paves the Way 20 at the Mile. James Swan edged Chester Ace to the finish line in one of the closest finishes in Milwaukee Mile history!

2nd Annual Racing Event Set For June 14, 2020
Track Enterprises
West Allis, WI – After a highly successful 2019 return to racing at the famed Milwaukee Mile, officials from the Wisconsin State Fair Park and Track Enterprises are happy to announce that stock car racing will be back on Sunday, June 14 for a second annual event.
Last year, four divisions of racing put on a great show for a large group of race fans hungry for action at the Milwaukee Mile. Over 100 drivers were on track for the 2019 race with Austin Nason besting a field of nearly 40 Super Late Models in the headline event.
“It was a huge win for us last year, being the first race there in many years. Really looking forward to going back, as it’s a really fast track and close to home,” stated Nason, last year’s winner.
The ARCA Midwest Tour Super Late Models will again headline the show in 2020 with a 100-lap event. Joining them will be the Midwest Trucks, Mid-American Stock Cars, and the Upper Midwest Vintage Series.
A practice day is planned for Saturday, June 13 with final practice, qualifying, preliminary events and feature racing getting underway at 1pm on Sunday, June 14, with the main events to follow. There will also be a street drag event on Saturday night, once open practice comes to an end.

(Milwaukee, WI) A large contingent of media members gathered for the official press conference that detailed the return of racing to Wisconsin State Fair Park’s Milwaukee Mile. The Father’s Day Special is set for Sunday, June 16th at the historic oval.
At the conference, longtime race announcer and Milwaukee Mile supporter Jim Tretow welcomed everyone with the opening statement. Among the speakers were Track Enterprises President, Bob Sargent, John Yingling, Board Chairman of Wisconsin State Fair Park, John DeAngelis, Jr., ARCA Midwest Tour racer, and Ron Nelson, who will be bringing Vintage Indy race cars to the event.
The on-sale ticket date of March 4th was released. Tickets will become available on that date, via the Internet, by phone, or at the box office. In addition, it was announced the headlining event for the ARCA Midwest Tour will be 100 laps.
The race will be the first event held on the oval since 2015, when the IndyCars made their most recent appearance. For the ARCA Midwest Tour, their most recent Milwaukee Mile event was 2014. The tour has seen some very good names enter victory lane as NASCAR Cup Champion Kyle Busch, fellow Cup driver Erik Jones, and Travis Sauter have won in previous events at the facility.
As previously announced, other classes in action that day will be the Mid-American Stock Cars, Midwest Super Trucks, and the Upper Midwest Vintage Series.
Newly added to the schedule, much to the delight of open wheel fans, are the entries from the Vintage Indy Registry. A full field of Vintage Indy cars will take the track for a couple of sessions on raceday, as well as practice day, Saturday.
