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.

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

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

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!

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

Justin Lott January 31, 2018 | Coal Valley,IL

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!!

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

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

Damian Bertling June 26, 2017 | Milwaukee

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!!!

Maggie Garber June 25, 2017 | KCK

Hate to lose ovals and having them replaced by road courses--losing too many old tracks...Milwaukee should win over that too short track @ Iowa!

Ryan Niermann June 22, 2017 | New Berlin

Save the Milwaukee Mile, its history and the lack of road tracks in the area make it truly special.

Edward L Richter June 22, 2017 | Milwaukee

The Mile must be saved. It is the longest running track in the world. And I.m work with State Fair to make sure it Never Dies.

Dick Baumgartner June 14, 2017 | Burlington

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 ?

Sherry Reimer June 14, 2017 | Milwaukee WI

It's an awesome place and has history worth saving.

Andrew Moll June 13, 2017 | Portage, wi

I want to share this tradition with my children! Save the Mile!

Gavin w June 06, 2017 | Muskego

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
