CHAMP CAR WISCONSIN TICKET ANNOUNCED
 
MILWAUKEE MILE & ROAD AMERICA CREATE JOINT OPPORTUNITY FOR CHAMP CAR
FANS
 
Milwaukee, Wis. (March 15, 2006) - The high-speed, open wheel drama of
the Champ Car World Series will make two Wisconsin stops during its 2006
season.  Today in a joint announcement made by The Milwaukee Mile and
Elkhart Lake's Road America, a CHAMP CAR WISCONSIN Ticket is now
available for motorsports enthusiasts to take in two race weekends in
one attractive offer.
 
The Sunday afternoon, June 4 Time Warner Cable Road Runner 225 at The
Milwaukee Mile will be the only oval event on the diverse Champ Car
schedule.  Driving champion Paul Tracy is looking to replicate his
dramatic 2005 victory at The Mile, completing the winning move on a
daring outside turn two pass on Jimmy Vasser to streak away to glory
last June.

200-mile contest, matching the sprawling four mile circuit in Elkhart
Lake with the skilled international cast of drivers.  This will be the
final domestic event on the 15-date Champ Car schedule.  Series veteran
Alex Tagliani wheeled into victory lane the last time Champ Car raced at
Road America, the premier road course in the United States, in 2004.
