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

Keep acing alive

I have been watching races at the Mile since the mid 1960's and have enjoyed seeing some of the greatest names in the sport go head to head here. This track has such a rich history !!! We can't let a great venue like this slip away !!! Better management, marketing and promoting are needed ASAP to keep racing here. Thanks to Michael Andretti and his group for what they are doing to preserve this. SAVE THE MILE !!!!

A national treasure and historic site. Landmark... you can't remove this lasting history and lost it forever.

save the track

Racing has always been an important part of life for people in Wisconsin. Saving the Milwaukee mile would important for people all across the state. It would also bring revenue to the city if they booked NASCAR races at the mile

do not close the mile

Save the mile!

Save the Mile...Been going there for a Long Time.

Save the Mile!!!!

save the mile.been going there the past 46yearsm

Growing up in Wauwatosa, my dad and I used to attend races all the time. I have seen state fair go through many transitions, physically and financially and in the end it has alway survived. This park and its track are at a vary critical stage of their existence. There are many that flat-out don't care what happens and would prefer the idea of redevelopement. We all have seen how well that goes....look a half mile east, that went well didn't it?!! The State of Wisconsin is truly blessed with a tremendous sense of racing heritage. At one time there were more drivers coming out of Wisconsin than any other state. This track needs to gather state wide and even national attention in support of its future. There needs to be a political agenda pushed through to Madison to secure funding from both the public and private sector. However, with that said, it can't go the same route taken by the last ownership that bled it dry. As a fan of the Milwaukee Mile what can we do? Write local and state represenatives and demand action to keep the "Mile" open.

NASCAR is really shooting themselves in the foot here. Because I hear there were expansion planes for backstrech grandstands.. if it was true before NASCAR pulled out they could have carried out these plans and NASCAR could have doubbled maybe even trippled their revenue. I went to NASCAR races from '04 all the way through '09 NASCAR... Please come back!!! The mile needs you!

We need NASCAR back here
