MILWAUKEE, WI – TODAY, Monday, September 25, County Executive David Crowley made the following statement following the announcement of IndyCar Racing coming to the Milwaukee Mile:

Thanks to the strong partnership between the Milwaukee Mile, Wisconsin State Fair Park, and IndyCar Racing, the national spotlight will be on Milwaukee during Labor Day weekend for the first-ever IndyCar Series double header. Not only is this an exciting announcement for IndyCar Racing fans, but due to the Act 12 sales tax increase, this event will be a huge economic driver for our county.
