The
Milwaukee Mile continues to be one of America’s premier,
tradition-laiden auto racing venues. Motorized racing events
date back to 1903, a full eight years before the first
Indianapolis 500, making The Mile the oldest, continually
operating motor speedway in the world.
A virtual who’s-who of
motorsports’ finest competitors have raced here. From
turn-of-the-century "speed contests" and 24-hour endurance
races to AAA and USAC-sanctioned Indy car and Stock Car
events through the 1970’s, to Champ Car and NASCAR Busch
Series competition since the early 1980’s, The Mile has
hosted the gamut of world-class events. The roster of past
winners at America’s Legendary Oval is a list of auto racing
royalty, including legendary competitors Barney Oldfield,
Rex Mays, Parnelli Jones, A.J. Foyt, Jimmy Clark, the Unsers,
the Andrettis, Nigel Mansell and Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
