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.

Let's get this done! We are so fortunate to have this historic racing facility here. For decades it showcased the top drivers from usac, nascar, indycar, and asa. The Mile attracted thousands of race fans each summer and those of us who attended races remember the spectacle of these events. Today, when I attend a Monster cup race, I wonder what if...what if the Mile had been properly managed, marketed, and allowed to grow and keep up with other motorsport facilities? How much money could the track have brought into our local economy in a single weekend? Bring back racing to The Mile and this time let's get it right! This old historic track could be great again!

Even though I'm new to Milwaukee I've travel across the USA extensively, so having a facility like this in your own backyard is rare. If it goes or if it's not used you will never get it back. A P3 or Public Private Partnership is the only way to go in order to save the Mile. Support Please

I've been to the Indy 500 from 2008-2013, going to Milwaukee was a tradition that was broken prematurely. IndyCar and Wisconsin need to bring light to open wheel racing to the state via media promotion. This venue should be a US historic landmark, why is it not?!

I drove this historic track a month ago as part of the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience. Just thinking I could be one of the last few people to drive this track in a list of racing legends blew my mind. Someone like Wallace or Penske should just write a fat check to own it and to keep corrupt State Fair management out of it.

Hire whoever is running RA. They brought back "LeMans" in the early 2000's. Host any and every event there to build interest. Promote and get sponsors, advertise early, you cant get people there if they don't know in advance.
I would hate to see the track go, but I know doing nothing will bring it back.

I grew up and still reside just blocks from the mile.
The sound of races is nostalgic to me and thus I love it.
I do not want to see it the mile go and I wish I understood all the political and business reasons why we can't seem to make the mile successful.
Racing may not be as big of a sport as it once was, but it is still a big sport. How does Road America fill their seats and we struggle? What are they and other successful race tracks doing that we are not? Why should this be so difficult?
I am just one person, but if there is anything I can do to help keep the mile and make it more successful, let me know what I can do.

Unfortunately the mile will be torn down, Road America hosting indy cars no chance indy cars will go back to mile if RA is on schedule.
If you went to the mile the last couple indy races that were held there. You had to notice no one in the stands. Half the people in stands had free tickets.
Indy series on the verge of not making it dosent help either.
Nascar will never be back.
It's a business and no one is going to invest in a business that doesn't have revenue, Andretti tried but realized he couldn't turn it around either.
Sad news for sure
