Milwaukee Mile Tickets Go On Sale On Website Next Monday, February 19th
Corresponds with NASCAR’s Season Kick-Off
Milwaukee, Wis. (February 12, 2007) – Tickets to all the exciting,
world-class auto racing events held at The Milwaukee Mile will be available
for purchase on the historic speedway’s website, www.milwaukeemile.com,
beginning this Monday, February 19th.
With the latest news of Wisconsin NASCAR champion Matt Kenseth racing at The
Milwaukee Mile on the speedway’s traditional Governor’s Cup weekend,
August 24-26 still fresh, as well as the season-opening NASCAR events held in
Daytona Beach, Fla. February 15-18, the timing makes sense, according to
speedway officials.
“The excitement builds towards Daytona for NASCAR fans, and we want to ride
that momentum with our online ticket launch for our two premier NASCAR events
held at The Milwaukee Mile, in addition to our other exciting weekends of
racing,” commented Jim Westerman, the speedway’s VP – Marketing.
The Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200 NASCAR Craftman Truck Series event is
scheduled for Friday night, June 22nd, with the biggest Motorsports event in
the state of Wisconsin set to go the next night, as the AT&T 250 NASCAR
Busch Series race will take the green flag shortly after 7:30pm on Saturday,
June 23.
Kenseth is scheduled to race a super late model against the best racers from
Wisconsin and the Midwest on Sunday, August 26, the day after competing in the
NASCAR NEXTEL Cup race in Bristol, Tenn. The Milwaukee Mile is offering
a money-saving Stock Car Package to both NASCAR events and all event days of
their four stock car division Governor’s Cup weekend in August, which
features the ARCA RE/MAX Series, ASA Late Model Challenge Series, the
Mid-American Stock Car Series, and the Wisconsin All-Star late model racers.
Certainly a highlight this summer will be the return to tradition of the Indy
cars racing at The Milwaukee Mile the Sunday following the Indianapolis
500. Sunday afternoon, June 3 will mark the unparalleled 50th time The
Mile will host Sam Hornish, Marco Andretti, Danica Patrick, Tony Kanaan and
all the Indy car stars. The ABC Supply / A.J. Foyt 225 IndyCar Series
weekend will also feature the up-and-coming Indy Pro Series drivers in action.
Season tickets to all event weekends, in addition to individual event day
tickets will be available online beginning this Monday, February 19th starting
at 12:00pm CST.
The Milwaukee Mile is the world’s oldest active speedway, dating back to
1903. In just the past five years, there have been over $23million in
improvements to the one-mile oval facility, improving the fan’s experience
with an all-new aluminum grandstand, to installing a $1million SAFER Barrier
System in 2006 to ensure the safest environment for competitors.
