I have been going to the Mile for at least 10 years. It has givem me great enjoyment. Watching Tony Stewart and others there. I have seen evry Sprint cup driver there and most of the most memorable is Kyle petty in the car his boy Adam drove. This was 8 weeks to the day after Adam lost his life in a violent accident. This track has given me many memories andI know it has given some children some too. Please mr. Doyle let John menard save the history of Milwaukee.

Losing the Mile would be a travesty.
Just because people don't know how to market it or realize what a gem they have here isn't a reason to let it die off.
Heck the State and City governments should get behind the track and market it as a tourist attraction. Much like Indianapolis is a tourist attraction 365 a year. Sure it would take some investment but it would pay off in the long run.
Not only for the track, but the city and state as well.
Would they let Churchill Downs or Indianapolis or Daytona die off????
Give me a break. The Mile must be saved.
It a historical Monument as well.
Heck Didn't even the Packers used to play there????

I have been to several IRL races over the last 5 years. I would love to see the community get behind the mile like we did for Miller Park. I remember days when the Nascar races were linked to Western Days. Save the mile!!!

Please keep racing in Milwaukee - we are so lucky to have a national sport that brings us recognition and revenue dollars. I hope the negativity generated by Sue Jeskewitz will be squashed with positive support from the state of Wisconsin for the 2009 season and into the future.

To lose the Mile would be a huge loss to the Milwaukee Area. It's a oldest tack in North America. It SHOULD be a landmark. NOT a redevelopment site.

Besides being a racing landmark, the Milwaukee Mile is an important fixture in the Milwaukee/Wisconsin community and cannot be lost.

I grew up in Milwaukee. Lived there for 30+ years. Milwaukee will always be home, and I am proud of it. Even the Pabst Blue Ribbon beer cans in China mention that Pabst was founded in Milwaukee. There are some things that define a city. Indianapolis is known worldwide for one single annual event. While the Milwaukee Mile does not define Milwaukee, it is one of those things that makes Milwaukee a major league city. Losing the GMO was a hit to civic pride; it was another event that had the eyes of the nation on our fair city. Milwaukee exists in the shadow of Chicago. Let's keep the lights on a little longer by keeping the Milwaukee Mile.

It's a great track, in a great location that produces great Indycar racing. It needs to be perserved and continue to operate.

Been to Milwaukee many times, it's one of the best venues to watch an IndyCar race on the schedule.

I've loved the Mile since the 70's as a teenager. Please don't let this great racetrack slip away like so many others before. I certainly plan on attending more IndyCar races in the future.
