Since 1903, The Milwaukee Mile has been one of the premier venues in American motorsports. It is the oldest operating motor speedway in the world, as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway began contesting events in 1911.

During the past century, the facility has played an integral role in shaping the face of auto racing. The Milwaukee Mile has hosted a variety of events from turn-of-the-century "speed contests" and 24-hour endurance races to AAA and USAC-sanctioned IndyCar and stock sar events, to NASCAR Nationwide and Truck series competition.

The roster of past winners at America's Legendary Oval is a veritable "who's-who" of racing history, including names like Barney Oldfield, Rex Mays, Parnelli Jones, A.J. Foyt, the Unsers, the Andrettis and Dale Earnhardt Jr.

The venerable grand dame of racing has undergone many improvements in just the last few years, including a new all-aluminum bleacher and grandstand seating, a new pit wall, a new scoring pylon, a repaving and retrofit of the infield road course, and the construction of a permanent infield care center building.

The new fan-friendly grandstands seat nearly 40,000 as well as provide significantly enhanced restrooms and concession areas. Competitor areas and paddock space has been enhanced at the state-of-the-art facility.
