Kenneth Kwiatkowski May 02, 2018 | Wheaton, IL

Please keep this historic track alive. IndyCar, NASCAR, ARCA please bring events to the Mile!

Ken Seibert May 02, 2018 | Sandwich, IL

Went to my first race at the Mile in 1965. Nothing can compare to a one mile, low banked true oval. I miss it. I've been to Indy, Daytona, Michigan and Chicagoland and they can't match the up close excitement that Milwaukee offers. It would be a shake to give up on it.

Sheena Sass April 24, 2018 | Big Bend

This racetrack should be registered as a historic landmark not turned into more empty strip malls. West Allis should be fighting harder to save the mile!

Nicholas sass April 24, 2018 | Big bend, wi

It is historical landmark and needs to stay.

EMILY April 24, 2018 | Delafield

I loved going to races here. Always amazing fun and sad to see it is no longer available. Bring racing back to milwaukee.

Paul Roeber April 23, 2018 | Milwaukee

How about a historical landmark? And a museum to also help build revenue and build interest in racing at the Mile!! Make the Milwaukee Mile a destination!

Paul Roeber April 23, 2018 | Milwaukee

Bring the Mile back, get Road America involved. They saved RA, its time to learn how to save the Mile!!!

Mason B April 21, 2018 | Sheboygan Wisconsin

I just want to see Indycar or Nascar to go there so I can see it once only heard stories about it.

Peter Yungbluth April 21, 2018 | Maryland

Not only is The Mile historic, it also makes for a unique exciting type of racing -- working through lapped traffic. When it's gone there's no getting it back.

Joseph Masi April 18, 2018 | Milwaukee

Used to go to races here as a kid, would be nice to see some racing here again someday.

Russell Lyon April 18, 2018 | Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin

I moved back to the area and really wish that an investment could be made in the Milwaukee Mile again! I'd commit to be at almost every race. I moved back to Wisconsin after living in California for 31 years. I went to races at the Milwaukee Mile as a kid.

Tina April 11, 2018 | Muskego

Russ G April 08, 2018 | Wauwatosa

The Milwaukee Mile has been around twice as long as Lambeau Field and has had so many great legends compete on it! It is a shame that the people of Milwaukee and Wisconsin don't realize what an absolute historical gem we have right in our own backyard!

Frederick Geskermann April 07, 2018 | Greenfield

David Ford April 06, 2018 | Kenosha

The milwaukee mile is truely one of the tracks to see some great racing i miss seeing nascars elite in the ixfinity series like matt kenesth dick trickle but also the indy cars that was some fun times thanks to the milwakee mile miss the ole track

Kerry J. Stehlik April 03, 2018 | Portland, Oregon & Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Milwaukee Mile is one of the wonders of the world. There is way too much racing history to close this racetrack down. I can recall that the late Andy Granatelli stated that this was the best oval raced on after the Indy 500. Racers loved it and kindly reconsider shutting it down. Thank you.

David Feggestad March 30, 2018 | Rockford , IL

Save the Mile: This facility has much history and way to much potential for a bright future just to let it go to waste. Would be a shame not to at least try and lure a promoter that will bring back some form of top notch racing.

Lance Oujesky March 25, 2018 | Bedford, Texas

The Milwaukee Mile just as much apart of American Motorsports History as Indianapolis is. This historical track must be preserved and brought back to use by a Championship Racing Series, hopefully the ones that made it famous, IndyCar and NASCAR.

I plead that you see the importantance and significance of this place.

Anastasia Lee March 22, 2018 | Green Bay

KEEP THE MILE : Racing is a part of the American Heritage and The Milwaukee Mile has hosted all the Greats from the Unsers, the Andrettis, Mears, Foyt, etc.. all the Royalty!

This is yet another piece of Ethnicity & Heritage being lost to the Modern Age.

Do Not Allow the Mile to sit idle.. bring back the Big Races & Make it affordable for families, and you will see 'Build It and They Will Come' to see the race :)

Sincerely,
~ Anastasia Lee ~

Chris D March 21, 2018 | West Allis

We absolutely cannot let this legendary track go unused. It's a shame it sits vacant for most of the year. It's about time to bring back some big events and people of the surrounding area need to come out to support this jewel sitting in the middle of our community!

Israel March 21, 2018 | Brazil

The Milwaukee Mile is a legend, it can't be lost. we lost too much raceways 'cause they (the owners) didn't cared of these legendary circuits an example of this is Emerson Fittipaldi Speedway. #SaveTheMile

James Gilboy March 15, 2018 | Colorado

Racetracks are testaments to the creative and competitive spirits of the human race. Venues as storied as Milwaukee Mile must be preserved so future generations may enjoy them too.

Zach February 25, 2018 | Racine,WI

Ive always liked the mile it was a difficult track to run and it was challenging to run and it was fun too! They just put in new stands as well so why not use them.

rex pecoraro February 20, 2018 | chicago

I have so many memories of going to the track to see indy racing and stock car racing during the state fair.

Anderson Bezerra February 19, 2018 | Natal, Brazil

I'm living in Brazil and a know about The Milwaukee Mile's history, we need to save a great history too old then Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a short track temple.

Eusebio Sachser February 19, 2018 | Brazil

Please save The Mile, great stories archive in motorsport!

Donna Saxon February 18, 2018 | New Berlin

Please save the Milwaukee Mile

Christopher James Stasey February 17, 2018 | Milwaukee, WI 53202

Milwaukee cannot afford to lose a gem like the famous Milwaukee Mile. The track got tons of media coverage when the CART race was held a week after the Indy 500 and was a very successful race weekend. INDYCAR, please return the schedule to the early 1990s with the Mile in early June and Road America in August or September! I was so proud to live in a city with two of the best racetracks in the world within an hour of my house. Please save this important historical hallowed ground!

Caiden Benjamin February 15, 2018 | Charlotte, NC

Sean McGuckin February 01, 2018

I always went to the Nationwide Series here every year for 5 years. I have so many great memories at this track as do many others. If you get rid of it, people will lose a spot that was important to them throughout their lives.

Gene Scanlon February 01, 2018 | New York

Please bring racing back to the mile. Don’t demolish it.

Gerry Fults January 31, 2018 | Indiana

Please give this track another Indycar race. The atmosphere was great here!

Paulo Roberto Pol January 31, 2018 | Dubai, UAE

This is not only a race track, but also a historical site. It should be saved and racing events should be brought back.

Ingrid January 31, 2018 | Oklahoma City, OK

Made the trip for INdyFest in 2014 & 2015. Would do it again if it were back on the schedule!

Gary Ferrell January 31, 2018 | Indianapolis

I love this track. One of my favorite races to go to every year. Spent a lot of great time there with friends and family.

Joyce Thompson January 31, 2018 | Florida

Loved going to INDYCAR races at this track. Needs to be on the schedule.

Tim Bosanoz January 31, 2018 | Downers Grove,Illinois

Oldest racetrack in the USA. Legends raced here. Most historic racetrack in the USA, second only to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The state would be stupid to get rid of it! PROMOTE IT!!!! REPAIR IT!!!!

Dan Neumann January 31, 2018 | Hartland

We need this racing venue. Please keep it alive.

DeWayne Salter January 31, 2018 | Illinois

The celebration of progress brings hope for the future, however we MUST be cautious to ensure that our future has a strong foundation or it will simply be false dreams that will surely crumble beneath our feet. As we look to create a strong future, we must never sacrifice our heritage.

The “Milwaukee Mike” is proof to the strength and character of the motor racing industry. We need to dedicate our efforts to preserving who we are and where we came from because a future that is not built on the strength of our past is no future at all.

Shanna January 31, 2018 | Milwaukee, WI

Please don't destroy a historic treasure.

Anne Bishop January 31, 2018 | Texas

Attended so many races at the infamous Milwaukee Mile. What a wonderful place and so many great memories. Many families have memories there and want to continue their traditions with their children. That track has been updated and needs to be preserved, not torn down like so much of the history in our country.

Laurie Czulno January 31, 2018 | Hammondm IN

The mile was one of the most exciting places to see an Indy Car race.

Rudy Gutierrez January 31, 2018 | Chicago,IL

Great place to see a race! Please save this great racetrack!

Krissy January 31, 2018 | Brookfield

So much rich history, hoping for a save. 11

Kenyon Angell January 31, 2018 | Pa.

Please don't destroy this piece of America. This is history of this country not just another race track.

Leonardo Bussinger January 31, 2018 | Rio de Janeiro - Brazil

We from Rio de Janeiro suffered TOO MUCH with the sad demolition of our "Autódromo Nelson Piquet", also called "Autódromo Internacional de Jacarépaguá".

All the community miss it and the racers don't have where to race anymore. Don't repeat this with the Milwaukee Mile! We have to preserve and estimulate our history! Be responsible!

God bless you and I really hope that, soon I visit USA, the Milwaukee Mile be safe!

Darlene Grahovac January 31, 2018 | Stevens Point, WI

Please don't tear down the Milwaukee Mile - I went to Indy Car races there starting in 1985. I so want to go back again

Joe Hahn January 31, 2018 | Cincinnati, Ohio

Eric Waters January 31, 2018 | Indianapolis IN

Ryan Clough January 31, 2018 | Pendleton, IN

It would be a huge tragedy to lose this track.

Justin Lott January 31, 2018 | Coal Valley,IL

The Mile is my favorite oval! I like Indy, but the Mile is Indy home. Been to several races there since I was 4yrs old. I'm 43 now. You can meet your idols, get close to drivers, crew and everyone involved in Indy Car. Save this track!!

daniel kapalczynski January 31, 2018 | west allis

I lived in Wisconsin for 45 years before retiring to Indiana 4 years ago. Wisconsin has a rich racing heritage, don't let it be lost. Reach out to Indy Car. The drivers love the Mile.

Please don't let this track fade away. This history cannot go away, and I know there is a lot of racing left at The Milwaukee Mile.❤?

ED ROTH January 26, 2018

I was at every stock car race from the mid 70 till end.

Jordan January 20, 2018 | Madison

I remember going the 2011 Milwaukee 225 for my first ever Indycar race (as I was completely new to the sport) and rooting for Oriol Servia to win. Ever since, it immediately sparked my in the Indycar Series. That race will always be one of the best days of my life! PLEASE SAVE THE MILE!!

Matheus Vieira dos Santos January 13, 2018 | São Manuel, Brazil

I know, I'm brazilian, but a huge IndyCar fan, and I really miss the 1-mile fashioned races at milwaukee.
Now with these Spec Aerokits this race could be an epic race again.
Hope you guys could help back this again, this generation kids will really enjoy this.

Matt January 13, 2018

Please bring back the Milwaukee Mile. I remember going to the IndyCar races the week after the Indianapolis 500. It was so much fun. I remember the stands being so full that no one could find a place to sit. It’s so sad to see such a historic race track being dismantled and not being used. I’m 38 years old and have been following IndyCar racing since I was 8. Drivers loved racing here because of the history and the challenges.

Dan Loken January 13, 2018

This track is an American gem. I made the last IndyCar race held there and was struck,by being there, of its historic relevance as well as its unique setting at the fairgrounds in West Allis. This track needs to be saved and needs to be back on the IndyCar schedule.

Amy Masterman January 13, 2018 | Waukesha wi

Please keep the legend around. Ive gone to this track for 25 plus years growing up and would love to continue the tradition with my family. I looked forward to timetrials on Saturday with my dad and then race day as a whole family. Please bring back the tradition

Robert M Dahse December 12, 2017

Started attending events at the Milwaukee mile in the late 60s,been to numerous events for 50 yrs, the state needs to commit to promoting and investing in the mile as done for other venues, Can e A Great Success
Thank You

Austin Blayney December 04, 2017 | Lakewood CA

This track needs to stick around it’s been around and come to far to just be forgotten. I think the best thing by far would be to have it the week after the Indy 500 like back then. The racing wasn’t the best the past few times the series went there but the new universal aero kit should make for better racing. Bring back the mile!

Mike Hogan November 27, 2017 | Glendale Heights IL

Save the Mile! One of the Best places for racing, and so much History!

Austin November 11, 2017 | Madison, WI

Great speedway. Would love to see it thrive!

Mark Jackson November 08, 2017 | Chattanooga, TN

I've never seen a race there in person, only on TV, but that's one place I've always wanted to visit since the first broadcast I saw. It's a shame it's got to this point. Too many awesome, historic tracks are going by the wayside. We can't let this happen at Milwaukee!

William Bash October 29, 2017 | Indianapolis

How can the city of Milwaukee allow the historic track to fade away? Where is your people’s since of the importance of this track to your city identity and to the world of racing. Northwestern must step up and save this

Charlie Ping October 26, 2017 | Anniston, Al.

I grew up in Milwaukee, and have been back to the Mile even though I moved away. This is a prime example of state owned property being tied up in red tape. Please put it up for sale so the private sector can run it properly. If this was a stick and ball sport, the government would run it in the red indefinitely. Why is Motorsports not held to the same standard? (or sub-standard)?

Eric Demerath October 12, 2017 | Appleton WI

All the history and memories. Many options available to get many different races and clubs racing again. Lets get together and make it happen. Be a shame and a joke to waste money ripping it down.

Kevin plesnik October 06, 2017 | Lincoln Ne

Bring this historic icon back in the fold! Oldest existing race track shouldn’t sit dormant as a practice track

Daniel Bullock October 06, 2017 | Kentucky

This legendary venue has stood the test of time, and should be preserved for its historical value and under the right circumstances with the proper management could become a vital asset to the racing world yet again.

Harold Fitzpatrick October 04, 2017 | Texas

Save the history of track it needs to try to be saved and get more famous races back in

Joa September 19, 2017 | Karlsruhe, Germany

The Milwaukee Mile is one of the oldest race tracks in the world. This heritage has to be perserved. Bring back IndyCars to Milwaukee the week after Indy 500.

Wendy Childers September 16, 2017 | Milwaukee, WI

My husband and I haven't missed a race since 1983. I'm VERY disappointed Indy Car has dropped Milwaukee.
