The Milwaukee Mile, the oldest continually operating speedway in the country, won't have a major motorsports event next season and may not have any racing whatsoever.
Wisconsin State Fair Park officials confirmed late Wednesday what many motorsports fans had feared for months: no NASCAR or Indy Racing League racing next year at the famed Mile.
"I'm sorry for this," was the message Susan Crane, chairwoman of the State Fair Park Board, said she wanted to tell race fans. "We tried to do everything we could to secure racing. But we're not giving up."
"Nobody is sadder than we are," added Craig Barkelar, the fair's interim executive director.
The IRL decided in August that it wouldn't return to Milwaukee in 2010, but NASCAR included the track on its Nationwide and Camping World Truck series schedules and expressed hope throughout the promoter search.
"NASCAR was aware of this possibility, and we have been working on alternate opportunities on the 2010 schedule for both series and will announce those soon," Ramsey Poston, NASCAR's managing director for corporate communications said in a statement.
Both NASCAR and the IRL were owed money by the previous promoter.
