The American Speed Association Midwest Tour comes to the Milwaukee Mile this year; the first time stock cars will race at the Mile in two years. The Swiss Colony Howie Lettow Memorial 150 takes place on June 12, and $20 gets you a general admission ticket to the event, and proceeds will go to benefit the MACC Fund. NASCAR drivers Rusty Wallace and Matt Kenseth will compete at the event.
