Milwaukee IndyFest To Return In 2013

Only moments before issuing the command to start engines for Saturday’s Milwaukee IndyFest, president and CEO of Andretti Sports Marketing, Michael Andretti, announced that the IZOD IndyCar Series would return in 2013. This announcement comes months after the Milwaukee Mile looked in danger of being removed from the IndyCar schedule back in February.

With street and road courses greatly outweighing oval courses on the 2012 IZOD IndyCar schedule, the Milwaukee Mile was the latest oval that looked likely to be dropped after 2011. However, after Michael Andretti assumed promotion of the event with his company Andretti Sports Marketing, the Milwaukee IndyFest looks set to be a recurring event on the IndyCar schedule.

The 2013 Milwaukee IndyFest is scheduled for June 14-15th, and tickets can already be purchased at the tracks official website: http://www.MilwaukeeIndyFest.com/.
