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!!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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)?

Save the Mile. Look at the history of this track not to mention the names of all the drivers. I liked it when it was the weekend after Indy. I thought it was a great challenge for the drivers to go from racing at Indy straight to Milwaukee.
Some commented on weekend races. Sure would be nice to have some activity at the track. We need to save this track. Hales Corners is gone...Do Not let the Milwaukee Mile Die Also!!!

The Milwaukee Mile is a very important part of Wisconsin History.
This mile track could be a money maker with financial support from the state to kick start and some top notch promoters to bring weekend racing to Milwaukee. Seems the problem is just one race now and then does not build a big enough draw.
If scheduled races were held each or at least every other weekend by Wisconsin asphalt racers and adjoining states . This could be a big draw making money for Milwaukee businesses and for sure a gold mine for the sport. Any reason we cant get together some promoters and a grant or loan from the state to kick this track back into gear not only saving it but giving us fans what we want ? Local tracks could have some participation and profit shares for championship races etc. Could they not ?

I Love this track and everything about it and its history. I saw my favorite driver Paul Menard win his first race in 2006. if they don't want to host Nascar or Indy they should have the super late models from slinger race there once break up the scenery and have at least an arca midwest stop still. We cant lose this track

The last ever oval Champ Car race was held at the Mile. It is also one of the most exiting races on the calendar. This track should be saved by someone. Given how much IndyCar has gained from this circuit, why is IndyCar not trying to save its history.

Instead making it difficult for Indycar or Nascar to run a race here, work with promoters to get things back on track! Proper promotion would bring crowds again. It would be a shame to lose such a historic track.
