I share memories of the Rex Mays 250 the weekend after the Indy 500. It was the place to be, and still should be. Made racing fans out of kids like me. Thanks to the Andretti family for bringing it back this year, just like Road America in 2007 when CART was broke. Wish I could have 2 minutes with Mario, I'd tell him this:

Just buy it. Get the Fair Board and the local govenment out of the way.

Needs local radio and TV promo. Has been almost extinct for years.

Big issue- Honey Creek fixes. Just do it.

I'll do your radio ads for free. I am a great voice, and have a plan using history and empathy
for some great spots.

Get IndyCar back to racing here the weekend after the Indy 500. It worked.

Get NASCAR back.

Save the Ring and Save the Mile!

I grew up watching the races here and still love watching them. Let the mile live

Don't let the Milwaukee Mile be a victim of a questionably run fair park....We don't need more food/knick knack stands. The thought of seeing a sign along the road that states historic marker is ahead . And all that is left is a brown sign stating what use to be... The Historic Milwaukee Mile...would tryly be sad.

Get an autosports enthusiast to invest in the track/buy it, build some garages, advertise the snot out of the track, attract some big races, bring the Nationwide series and truck series back, and this track will flourish. I would even go to the extreme and say buy out the block on the backstretch if profitable and build stands all the way around the track. Not sure about where the extra parking would go though.

With proper promotion this is a great venue. Sad to say I did not even know there was an ASA race there last night and now I missed it.

This track provides some of the best racing in the country, and is a historical landmark in Wisconsin. Help save a part of our history and support the MILE!!!!

Save the Milwaukee Mile and keep the races coming. It's good for Wisconsin, it's good for the economy, it's good for the sport and it's great for race fans.

save the mile

Some of the best memories with my son came at the Milwaukee Mile. We were there year for the Nationwide cars and the trucks we We loved the exciting racing at the track in Milwaukee.
We cannot afford to lose this piece of Wisconsin history.
Wisconsin needs the Mile for many more generations to come !!!

Great track, only been there twice prior to the remodeling of the grandstands but anxious to get back.

Please don't let this track go. My entire 45 years have been spent living very close to the Milwaukee Mile. It is a great location and the drivers love this track. For all these years we have grown up selling lemonade and just sitting outside talking to all of the spectators that come for races here, it has been a joy and a source of pride. We enjoy every minute of it!

We can't let a fun form of recreation like this leave town. Not to mention the financial ramfications.

we were season ticket holders for the mile since the busch series started & they brought in the truck series,we sat on those bleachers for years, the new seats got built, then out great governor doyle screwed things up and the race left us. we will support the track when racing comes back every year

please get nascar racing back, we miss it

Only a fool would let the Milwaukee Mile go. I've seen the track in it hayday and I watched the State screw it UP! This is to all you half witts from the State. Don't Screw this up with Michael Andretti.Fix what you messed up with NASCAR and bring them back....I do vote on a regular bases and I will vote for someone who is in favor of keeping racing in Milwaukee. To Michael Andretti and Family THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! SEE YOU AT THE RACES!

I live in the Lake Geneva area and watched that track closed. (ROSS KENSETH raced there on the weekends in his beginning career)
I work in the Milwaukee(in the automotive industry), and I am watching this track being pushed asside.
I am an AVID race fan on both the Open wheel and Stock car as well as Moto.
There are way too many smaller tracks being closed, that are supported by local people, all in the name of the almighty dollar.
To quote Pete Pistone we all need to be "staning up" about this and get something done. Not just for the INDY series, but NASCAR as well.

Been supporting the track since the '60's. State Fair week used to feature two, three or even four stock car races. Almost lived there in August. NASCAR should support its roots. They take the Nationwide to Elkhart Lake for a road course race; what's the matter with the mile?

I have been going to the mile for many many years. From the time when the REAL ASA with stars like Bobby Dotter, Butch Miller, and Mike Eddy made its way through there, to the start of the nascar era at the mile. I love and appreciate the mile and its heritage. I grew up 3 blocks away from the track in the 80s and my father and I rarely missed a race. I sincerely hope that we can continue to enjoy our memories and more memories to come at The Mile. And not to mention I WANT TO SEE NASCAR BACK AT THE MILWAUKEE MILE!!!!!

Save the Milwaukee Mile!! I have so many memories watching the Indy races when A. J. Foyt was burning up the track. We loved going to the Nationwide races. BRING NASCAR BACK. We will be in the stands for the ASA/Big 8 racing on June 12, 2012. Our favorite local racer will be participating. His first time at the Mile. What a thrill it will be to watch him at the Mile. He will be part of this History Making track. Find people who truly care about the Mile to keep it going. DON'T LET THE MILE GO BY THE WAYSIDE LIKE MY FAVORITE BALL PARK OF ALL TIME, COUNTY STADIUM. THAT BROKE MY HEART as I went to so many Braves games since 1953 when it opened.

My father used to work on the Fire & Rescue Squad at the Milwaukee Mile 50's, 60's, 70's in the North Turn and saved many lives there! I grew up at the Mile and I am 47 now. I have many fond memories of my family sitting in the infield across from my father......and have wonderful memories and funny stories of time spent with AJ (Foyt), Al & Bobby (Unser) and Mario (Andretti)back in the USAC days! This is one heck of a track to drive and has such great fans. Please help bring racing back to the Mile so that I can share the experience with my children and grandchildren!!

it's milwaukee...wisconsin...racing...enough said...keep it!!!

Some of the best memories with my father came at the Milwaukee Mile. We were there every year for the Rex Mays Classic which always came the week after the Indy 500. We loved the "BIG" track in Milwaukee.
We cannot afford to lose this piece of Wisconsin history.
Wisconsin and Milwaukee both need the Mile !!!

we must keep the mile

Let's keep motorsports in Milwaukee!
