Milwaukee Mile in Wisconsin is the oldest continuously operating auto racing track in the United States. Built in the 1800s for horse racing, in 1903, it hosted its first auto race: a five-mile dirt track event in which the winning car hit an astonishing 50 miles per hour (astonishing for 1903). For years, it was a regular stop on the IndyCar circuit. Though activity at the track slowed in recent years, grassroots groups continue driving hard to bring it back up to speed.
