One of the most memorable moments of my life was watching A.J. Foyt get out of his car and try working on it himself. His DNF made me the mechanic and racer i am today.

My first race at The Mile was in 1956, IndyCars. After that my brother and I bought season tickets for all the races at The Mile. I have been to Chicagoland, Trenton, Charlotte, Daytona. But, The Milwaukee Mile is still the best track ever.

The Mile is a storybook venue for Indycar. A series looking for great storylines can't lose the oldest track in America.

The Mile is a great event, and a must on the Indycar schedule. You said yourselves the crowd is improving, just imagine what could happen if the race weekend had good weather and no threat of rain, because that is what hurt the chances of a descent walk-up crowd.

I am proud to have this racetrack in my backyard, and I wish more people who are motorsports enthusiasts would support this track by attending the events there. I am disappointed that NASCAR isn't returning and is now going to Road America instead. I'd argue there is enough passion for motorsports here in Wisconsin and the Midwest, and both tracks could support NASCAR races. I sincerely appreciate Michael Andretti for promoting the IndyFest. It's a great time at a historic venue. Well done!

I grew up going to Indy Car races at the Mile and my father, Landy Scott, drove his Studebaker powered #17 "Welch Special" at the Mile in the 1940's and 50's. Please save this historic track for generations to come. The loss of Ascot Speedway in So Cal was a great loss, but it wouldn't compare to the losing the Great Milwaukee Mile.

The Milwaukee Mile without an Indy car race? No stock cars at State Fair Park? Say it ain't so! We can save the Mile. Keep racing in Wisconsin. I swear by the ghost of Rex Mays, that we shall not fail. Fellow Cheeseheads unite! Don't let us down legistrators, save the Mile!!!

I've been going to races at the "Mile" since 1948,and have seen the mismanagment of this great facility by government selected promoters. We now have great people running things, so lets have the goverment screw it up again. - Remember I vote and politicians can be replaced.

The history of auto racing at The Mile is near legendary. To not continue to keep the track up and running for another 100+ years is just plain stupid! For Wisconsin and Milwaukee to be involved in Large scale racing on a national and international leval is great for fans, the state, local community, and the economy. Keep a good thing going for generations to come.

Wisconsin needs this track! I believe Nascar would come back if the track were run by a professional racing entity.

Have you (state fair executives) finally figured out that you have done a HORRIBLE job of running the track? Now that it has been run into the ground... again, maybe... Just Maybe it's a good idea to let a REAL race team owner take control of the track so the track will finally make money. Best of all, it will bring much needed money back into West Allis... If Road America can make money, how the heck can't you figure it out? Smaller tracks are thriving much better than the mile... Unbelievable. Maybe MILWAUKEE should think about spending that money allocated for the street cars on the mile instead??? Every city knows those street cars ALWAYS lose money. Use it wisely here & you'll get a return in taxes.... Duh... Win win for everybody then.

I was very upset when I heard that NASCAR was no longer at the Milwaukee Mile!!! I want to be able to bring my son to these races now that he is old enough and start a new family yearly trip but that has been ruined for us!! :( Someone had better do something to fix this. Not only my family but several others. Also think of all the lost revenue for this state!! someone needs to get their head out of their butt!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot believe this is happening again. It just makes me sick.Who are these idiots on the state fair park board.Nascar will never come here again folks if they have to deal with those imbiciles.Thats a fact people.John Menard wanted control of track with other partners and the IDIOTS on that board said no to his proposal.Menard wrote a very strongly worded letter basiclly saying the samething I am saying.It is sad.My sister was showing me pictures the other day of me and my mother in turn four by the pit entrance.It had to be in the sixties because I am so young I can't remember it.Iam 48 now and have seen the greatest drivers in the world compete.The State fair board needs to sell or give that track to Menard or sombody with a racing background to run that track.Then maybe they can make amends with Nascar maybe.I would like to say THANK YOU to the Andretti's for bringing Indy cars here and ARCA.Now its up to us as race fans to fill the stands.Actions speak volumes.Cities and States building tracks and facilities and Wisconsin wants to get rid of the oldest track in theU.S.A.Where are your brains? I could go on and on I love that place
