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

Enough said!!

My Dad took to my first race back in the early 50's when the track was still dirt. Drivers then were the likes of Myron Fohr and Marshal Teague.When I heard that it was to be paved I cried because I loved the cars careening through the turns sideways, the dust that turned us black and the thrill of racing that I thought would be lost with pavement. Of course I was wrong. I lived for summers spent on the south turn (#1) bleachers, sneaking in the park via the railroad tracks during Fair Week, the smells, the sounds and the excitement of the Rex Mayes Classic 100, the Tony Bettenhausen Memorial 250...I even miss Wednesday night races cheering Miles Melius, Etchie Biertzer and Kenny Tlougan on the 1/4 dirt track that is now the pit lane. From the late 50's until I went into the USAF in 1966, I never missed a single race of any type on the mile track...Stock cars, Big Cars (Indy-type cars used to be called that) and even the midgets. Please preserve the greatest racetrack in North America.

Been fans of nascar since 1988 and our first race was at da mile in 2008 for trucks/nationwide. Perfect place to start our live watching and better believe it -we want to come back again as its a perfect get a way weekend. GET ER DUN!!!!AND BRING HER BACK.

I love this place! please do Something to save it!

The greats that have raced here is amazing! I have seen sprints,midgets Nasacar,even the big Monster trucks! Loved it all. Stop playing "polyticos" help save a Badger state One of kind!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't want to see the mile gone we enjoy coming to the races and other events in West Allis, it's is well worth the drive down here .

Save the Milwaukee Mile.

Since moving out here to the midwest I have enjoyed many races at the Mile...made many friends from all over the region. Spending a full day infield, sharing stories, catching up on the happenings since we all last attended a race there. Really miss that we can't set up like we used to and being right in the thick of it once the races started. But am so happy to see them slowly return, just hope the organizers of the races allow those who want to set up for a long, fun day infield that we used to have.

bring back nationwide and the trucks. its the closest i can get to sprint because it so affordable in milwaukee

Save the track, to much history!!!

Save the track...it has more tradition than any other track. Bring more events, ASA was a hit, modifieds, whatever it takes to utilize the track and save it. Hopefully we can band together and get NASCAR back with new leadership at the track.

Save this track and bring back the Nascar
Truck series!

My dad used to take me to the mile as a kid to watch the races more than 50 years ago. I had season tickets for many years watching the ASA cars run with guys like Alan Kulwickie, Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace, etc. all of which eventually made it big in NASCAR. It's a great place to watch a race at and is a shame that the economy hurt attendance so much that one could not profitably promote a successful racing program. Give the economy a little more time to recover and give it a go again. I miss the racing there. Keith Malek

SAVE THE MILE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for taking up this valid cause.
Michael Andretti seems to be making great improvements. However, I'm still concerned by the lack of billboards or ads that promoted the race in years past.
