IRL to steer clear of town for now
Dave Kallmann
The Indy Racing League no longer has any intention coming to the Milwaukee Mile in 2010.
That revelation Friday contradicts a key condition set by State Fair Park if a new group is to be selected to promote races at the historic fairgrounds oval.
"We worked . . . late into last night and again this morning trying to figure out a formula that may allow us to possibly race there in 2010 (and) that wasn't possible," Terry Angstadt, president of the commercial division of the IRL, said Friday in Sparta, Ky.
"We are continuing an open dialogue with them. We hope to be able to find something in the near future for Milwaukee."
