Instead of calling it a quits, thousands of spectators braved the cold weather and went out to the historic Milwaukee Mile to watch an action-packed day of racing.

The Milwaukee Mile pits were packed Saturday afternoon, June 15, for an open practice day, leading up to the Father’s Day Sunday return to racing at the popular oval. 120+ competitors were on track, fine tuning their machines.

Before Alan Kulwicki moved South in 1985 to pursue fame & fortune in the highest level of NASCAR racing, his victory in the 1983 Miller 200 American Speed Association (ASA) race at the history-rich Milwaukee Mile stood paramount as the biggest win in his stock car racing career.

Add one more touring series champion to the growing drivers list entered to compete this Sunday in the ARCA Midwest Tour-sanctioned “Father’s Day 100” race at the Milwaukee Mile Speedway on the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds.

After an absence of five years, stock car racing returns to the famed “Milwaukee Mile” at the Wisconsin State Fair Park on Father’s Day, June 16, with the ARCA Midwest Tour Super Late Models highlighting the afternoon’s action.

This Sunday afternoon June 16 will feature over 40 Super Late Model drivers from 11 states battling for just 32 ARCA Midwest Tour starting positions for the Father’s Day 100.
