Milwaukee Mile had lost its spot on the IndyCar schedule several years ago and was in danger of closing altogether on multiple occasions.
since it has hosted at least one auto race every year since 1903, aside from World War II. It began as a dirt track before it was paved in 1954. The facility also includes an infield that hosted selected Green Bay Packers home games from 1934-51.
Mark Miles, the president and CEO of Penske Entertainment Co., said Penske officials met with Evers more than a year ago to discuss the possibility of bringing IndyCar back to Milwaukee. Miles also noted that “the State Fair Board welcomed the opportunity and is really embracing it, and I don’t know that that was that true last time around in Milwaukee.”
IndyCar’s return to Milwaukee exemplifies the series’ commitment to getting more races on oval tracks. Penske believes those tracks provide the type of competitive racing preferred by fans. “It’s just the lack of banking,” Dixon said. “Ovals typically have some pretty good banking to them. The corners are quite different from each other, they don’t look that different but 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 are vastly different just in how you can set up the car and how it works.”
