The track is operated by the Wisconsin State Fair Park Board, which has not been able to secure a promoter for the 2010 season. The truck race was scheduled for June 18, with the Nationwide Series race scheduled for June 19 at the historic 1-mile oval, which opened in 1903.
There was no immediate word from NASCAR whether those races would be replaced on the schedule.
“For the past seven years, the Wisconsin State Fair Park Board has been committed to maintaining and underwriting national racing at the historic Milwaukee Mile race track,” the board said in a statement. “Since 2003, the Fair Park has subsidized race operations from $1 million to $3 million each year.
