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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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
