This is a really interesting observation from Mark Belling today. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ran a story in their paper talking about next years schedule for Champ Car (formerly CART), one of the two open wheel racing circuits in the United States. They talk about the return to Road America and mention several other cities and tracks, but the real news is what they did not print.
Champ Car and CART before it, has been racing at The Milwaukee Mile since 1933, and as far as I can tell, it has been held almost every year since with the exception of the World War 2 years. They have certainly been run for each of the past 27 years since the name was changed to Champ Car.
The Milwaukee Mile is the oldest race track on the nation, it has held at least one race each year since 1903, and until this news, the Milwaukee Mile was the only race track in the nation that held races for NASCAR, the Champ Car World Series, and the Indy Racing League.
How can the Milwaukee news paper run a story on this without mentioning a huge local angle?
