here is what the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal has. i dont know how to post a link or anything like that so this is what you get.


A Michael Andretti-backed group led by a former AirTran official will promote the return of IndyCar racing to the Milwaukee Mile this year.

Andretti Sports Management announced its entree into race promotion Friday, saying the race would be held on the Saturday of Father's Day weekend, June 16.

Kevin Healy, who was senior vice president of marketing and planning for AirTran, will serve as managing director of Milwaukee IndyFest.

The Friday-Saturday weekend is to include entertainment beyond the race itself on the grounds of State Fair Park.



“Andretti Sports Marketing is excited about promoting IndyFest at the Milwaukee Mile,” Michael Andretti, CEO of Andretti Sports Marketing, LLC, said in the announcement. “It’s a historic track in a great city, and it’s a place that has always been a favorite for my family. But, more importantly, it’s an ideal track for Indy cars and always produces exciting racing for the fans.”

Andretti won five times as a driver at the Mile and three as a team owner.

Tickets will go on sale March 1, but fans who would like more details or to be notified when the tickets are available can sign-up on the event website at www.MilwaukeeMile.com.



IndyCar retured to the Mile in 2011 after a one-year hiatus, but the event was marked by a smaller-than-expected crowd.

Randy Bernard, CEO of the sanctioning body, had said last summer that IndyCar would not return in 2012, but began talking with State Fair Park in December about reversing that decision.

The actual rental contract for the event had not been signed as of Friday afternoon.
