I was born (1966) and raised in Milwaukee. My dad took me to the Milwaukee Mile and it has formed lifetime memories. The track is the oldest oval in the U.S., and needs to be preserved and used! Great cities have great attractions. Major sports and cultural events are a part of Milwaukee lifestyle, and The Milwaukee Mile should be NO exception! Thank you.

John Baylon July 31, 2018 | Milwaukee

We need racing back in Milwaukee or at least some way of preserving this great short track for the future.

Linda Kasun July 29, 2018 | Milwaukee

Save the track! Bring racing back!

Bill Stanfield July 22, 2018 | Rhinelander, WI

This is soooo important to maintain a tradition of auto racing in Milwaukee.

the closest thing to racing in the area is road america which around a 2 hour drive for most of milwaukee. or Chicagoland speedway soooo i want good racing back in milwaukee

Keith K von Kampen June 27, 2018 | Kiel, WI

We need to save the Milwaukee Mile. It is part of both Milwaukee and Racing history. If we can save steam trains to run on ribbons of rail, why cant we save a track we enjoy racing on and watch racing on.

Joe Jurek June 25, 2018 | Chicago

The legacy of The Mile needs to be saved. It's a part of racing history. Simply look at the names of the people who've won there, the greatest this continent has known. "After Indy we go to Milwaukee" - Paul Newman in "Winning". The way it should always be.

Liam Smith June 25, 2018 | milwaukee

its a great track that could be profitable if a long term investment was made to host big series.

Carl June 25, 2018 | Brookfield

A track with a historic resume like this deserves to host high level races. We can’t let racing in Wisconsin go by the wayside.

Aaron June 25, 2018 | Twin Lakes

Bring Racing back to the Milwaukee Area!

Sean Morris June 23, 2018 | Norridge, IL

This race track has a lot of character. This is one of the most historic tracks in North America and deserves to be used!

Ray Biedrzycki June 22, 2018 | Milwaukee,WI.

Round up investors and keep this one of a kind track functioning.
Milwaukee needs an affordable racing venue.

Jim Daley June 19, 2018 | Grafton, WI

Bradley Weber June 16, 2018 | Green Bay

A great racetrack

Brian Phillips June 14, 2018 | Miami, FL

This place deserves NASCAR & Indycar racing! Save The Milwaukee Mile!

Tobias Kowalski June 14, 2018 | Madison Wi

This great race track needs to be treated with the Reverence as Indianapolis motor Speedway . It needs to be on the The national Registry of historic places .

Nick Hoffmann June 07, 2018 | Milwaukee / Madison

Save history and revive racing in Milwaukee. I know IndyCar and its fans would love to bring racing back to this historic oval.

Mike Lewis June 06, 2018 | Rochester, NY

Please save the Milwaukee Mile. It was always one of my favourite tracks back in the CART days. Now, even if a big name like Indycar can't be drawn back in, this track needs to be saved for those of us who compete on an amateur level.

Doug Terry June 06, 2018 | Hudson, OH

Please save this historic race track!

Ben Kline June 03, 2018 | Portsmouth, Va

I live in Va but always liked the Indy racing from the Mile. I hate to see any track shuttered # Nashville Superspeedway #Rockingham etc,etc.

Brenda Dlapa June 01, 2018 | West Allis

The mile is an icon

Uriah Monroe May 30, 2018

Please keep the Mile. My son and family all enjoy racing!

Mike May 28, 2018 | Sheboygan

Went to races during 3 decades. Saw Indy cars, Busch cars, Arca, ASA, VW cup, school buses, etc.
Disappointed by SF Park board and West Allis. They have a possible worldwide destination right there.

Peni May 28, 2018 | Fond du Lac

Please keep the Mke Mile!

VANESSA MEDRANO May 21, 2018

let's save the gurl!!

Kurt Roeske May 17, 2018 | West Allis

The Mile is one of the things that put Milwaukee on the map. Loosing it would be a big mistake and an end to a great facility. Promote!!! Fill the stands!

stuart cummings May 17, 2018 | Omaha, NE

I have been to the track many times in the past for Champ Car and IndyCar races, and truly hate to see this venue go away. I have many fond memories of past races I have enjoyed there. It was a yearly trip I always looked forward to.

John LoGiudice May 15, 2018 | Milwaukee

Keep the Mile open and promote it to keep it relevant and therefore financially solvent

James Euscher May 14, 2018 | North Bend, Wa.

Only been there once, but the experience is unforgettable. How about late models or Nascar Kane N series

Alex May 14, 2018 | Australia

A grand track known around the world. Save and restore it.

Please keep this historic track alive. IndyCar, NASCAR, ARCA please bring events to the Mile!

Ken Seibert May 02, 2018 | Sandwich, IL

Went to my first race at the Mile in 1965. Nothing can compare to a one mile, low banked true oval. I miss it. I've been to Indy, Daytona, Michigan and Chicagoland and they can't match the up close excitement that Milwaukee offers. It would be a shake to give up on it.

Sheena Sass April 24, 2018 | Big Bend

This racetrack should be registered as a historic landmark not turned into more empty strip malls. West Allis should be fighting harder to save the mile!

Nicholas sass April 24, 2018 | Big bend, wi

It is historical landmark and needs to stay.

EMILY April 24, 2018 | Delafield

I loved going to races here. Always amazing fun and sad to see it is no longer available. Bring racing back to milwaukee.

Paul Roeber April 23, 2018 | Milwaukee

How about a historical landmark? And a museum to also help build revenue and build interest in racing at the Mile!! Make the Milwaukee Mile a destination!

Paul Roeber April 23, 2018 | Milwaukee

Bring the Mile back, get Road America involved. They saved RA, its time to learn how to save the Mile!!!

Mason B April 21, 2018 | Sheboygan Wisconsin

I just want to see Indycar or Nascar to go there so I can see it once only heard stories about it.

Peter Yungbluth April 21, 2018 | Maryland

Not only is The Mile historic, it also makes for a unique exciting type of racing -- working through lapped traffic. When it's gone there's no getting it back.

Joseph Masi April 18, 2018 | Milwaukee

Used to go to races here as a kid, would be nice to see some racing here again someday.

Russell Lyon April 18, 2018 | Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin

I moved back to the area and really wish that an investment could be made in the Milwaukee Mile again! I'd commit to be at almost every race. I moved back to Wisconsin after living in California for 31 years. I went to races at the Milwaukee Mile as a kid.

Tina April 11, 2018 | Muskego

Please save the Milwaukee Mile

Justine April 11, 2018 | Wisconsin

Save the Milwaukee Mole

setzer April 11, 2018 | Waukesha

Bring back racing

Russ G April 08, 2018 | Wauwatosa

The Milwaukee Mile has been around twice as long as Lambeau Field and has had so many great legends compete on it! It is a shame that the people of Milwaukee and Wisconsin don't realize what an absolute historical gem we have right in our own backyard!

Frederick Geskermann April 07, 2018 | Greenfield

save the track

David Ford April 06, 2018 | Kenosha

The milwaukee mile is truely one of the tracks to see some great racing i miss seeing nascars elite in the ixfinity series like matt kenesth dick trickle but also the indy cars that was some fun times thanks to the milwakee mile miss the ole track

Kerry J. Stehlik April 03, 2018 | Portland, Oregon & Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Milwaukee Mile is one of the wonders of the world. There is way too much racing history to close this racetrack down. I can recall that the late Andy Granatelli stated that this was the best oval raced on after the Indy 500. Racers loved it and kindly reconsider shutting it down. Thank you.

David Feggestad March 30, 2018 | Rockford , IL

Save the Mile: This facility has much history and way to much potential for a bright future just to let it go to waste. Would be a shame not to at least try and lure a promoter that will bring back some form of top notch racing.

Lance Oujesky March 25, 2018 | Bedford, Texas

The Milwaukee Mile just as much apart of American Motorsports History as Indianapolis is. This historical track must be preserved and brought back to use by a Championship Racing Series, hopefully the ones that made it famous, IndyCar and NASCAR.

I plead that you see the importantance and significance of this place.

Jose Perez IV March 23, 2018

Anastasia Lee March 22, 2018 | Green Bay

KEEP THE MILE : Racing is a part of the American Heritage and The Milwaukee Mile has hosted all the Greats from the Unsers, the Andrettis, Mears, Foyt, etc.. all the Royalty!

This is yet another piece of Ethnicity & Heritage being lost to the Modern Age.

Do Not Allow the Mile to sit idle.. bring back the Big Races & Make it affordable for families, and you will see 'Build It and They Will Come' to see the race :)

Sincerely,
~ Anastasia Lee ~

Chris D March 21, 2018 | West Allis

We absolutely cannot let this legendary track go unused. It's a shame it sits vacant for most of the year. It's about time to bring back some big events and people of the surrounding area need to come out to support this jewel sitting in the middle of our community!

Israel March 21, 2018 | Brazil

The Milwaukee Mile is a legend, it can't be lost. we lost too much raceways 'cause they (the owners) didn't cared of these legendary circuits an example of this is Emerson Fittipaldi Speedway. #SaveTheMile

James Gilboy March 15, 2018 | Colorado

Racetracks are testaments to the creative and competitive spirits of the human race. Venues as storied as Milwaukee Mile must be preserved so future generations may enjoy them too.

Zach February 25, 2018 | Racine,WI

Ive always liked the mile it was a difficult track to run and it was challenging to run and it was fun too! They just put in new stands as well so why not use them.

rex pecoraro February 20, 2018 | chicago

I have so many memories of going to the track to see indy racing and stock car racing during the state fair.

Anderson Bezerra February 19, 2018 | Natal, Brazil

I'm living in Brazil and a know about The Milwaukee Mile's history, we need to save a great history too old then Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a short track temple.

Eusebio Sachser February 19, 2018 | Brazil

Please save The Mile, great stories archive in motorsport!

Donna Saxon February 18, 2018 | New Berlin

Please save the Milwaukee Mile

Christopher James Stasey February 17, 2018 | Milwaukee, WI 53202

Milwaukee cannot afford to lose a gem like the famous Milwaukee Mile. The track got tons of media coverage when the CART race was held a week after the Indy 500 and was a very successful race weekend. INDYCAR, please return the schedule to the early 1990s with the Mile in early June and Road America in August or September! I was so proud to live in a city with two of the best racetracks in the world within an hour of my house. Please save this important historical hallowed ground!

Caiden Benjamin February 15, 2018 | Charlotte, NC

I always went to the Nationwide Series here every year for 5 years. I have so many great memories at this track as do many others. If you get rid of it, people will lose a spot that was important to them throughout their lives.

Gene Scanlon February 01, 2018 | New York

Please bring racing back to the mile. Don’t demolish it.

Paulo Roberto Pol January 31, 2018 | Dubai, UAE

This is not only a race track, but also a historical site. It should be saved and racing events should be brought back.

Ingrid January 31, 2018 | Oklahoma City, OK

Made the trip for INdyFest in 2014 & 2015. Would do it again if it were back on the schedule!

Gary Ferrell January 31, 2018 | Indianapolis

I love this track. One of my favorite races to go to every year. Spent a lot of great time there with friends and family.

Joyce Thompson January 31, 2018 | Florida

Loved going to INDYCAR races at this track. Needs to be on the schedule.

Tim Bosanoz January 31, 2018 | Downers Grove,Illinois

Oldest racetrack in the USA. Legends raced here. Most historic racetrack in the USA, second only to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The state would be stupid to get rid of it! PROMOTE IT!!!! REPAIR IT!!!!

Dan Neumann January 31, 2018 | Hartland

We need this racing venue. Please keep it alive.

DeWayne Salter January 31, 2018 | Illinois

The celebration of progress brings hope for the future, however we MUST be cautious to ensure that our future has a strong foundation or it will simply be false dreams that will surely crumble beneath our feet. As we look to create a strong future, we must never sacrifice our heritage.

The “Milwaukee Mike” is proof to the strength and character of the motor racing industry. We need to dedicate our efforts to preserving who we are and where we came from because a future that is not built on the strength of our past is no future at all.

Shanna January 31, 2018 | Milwaukee, WI

Please don't destroy a historic treasure.

Anne Bishop January 31, 2018 | Texas

Attended so many races at the infamous Milwaukee Mile. What a wonderful place and so many great memories. Many families have memories there and want to continue their traditions with their children. That track has been updated and needs to be preserved, not torn down like so much of the history in our country.

Laurie Czulno January 31, 2018 | Hammondm IN

The mile was one of the most exciting places to see an Indy Car race.

Rudy Gutierrez January 31, 2018 | Chicago,IL

Great place to see a race! Please save this great racetrack!

Krissy January 31, 2018 | Brookfield

So much rich history, hoping for a save. 11

Kenyon Angell January 31, 2018 | Pa.
