Wisconsin NASCAR Superstar’s Second Straight Victory Expands Speedway’s Ticket Offer For Another Week

West Allis, Wis. February 23, 2009: After Cambridge, Wis. native and 2003 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Matt Kenseth captured the Daytona 500 on February 15, The Milwaukee Mile celebrated with a discounted ticket offer of $17 – to match the winner’s car number – to the Saturday, August 29 Wisconsin All-Star 100 race, in which Kenseth is scheduled to race a super late model.

Fresh off of Kenseth’s second-straight NASCAR victory yesterday in Fontana, Calif., The Milwaukee Mile is expanding its offer for a limited time, with the offer of two tickets for $17 to witness Kenseth racing in the Wisconsin All-Star 100 event, in the reserved 200-level seating.

Kenseth will return for the third consecutive year to race at The Milwaukee Mile August 29 to compete against the best in the Midwest driving a short track super late model race car, which is similar to the car he raced in his formative years before launching his ultra-successful NASCAR career.

The Wisconsin NASCAR superstar joined an elite list of NASCAR drivers Sunday, as his second-straight victory to open a NASCAR season was a feat done only three other times in NASCAR history, most recently by Jeff Gordon in 1997. Gordon, coincidentally, went on to win that year’s points championship.

To take advantage of The Mile’s “Two For $17” ticket offer, fans can enter the promo code “Kenseth” when ordering tickets on www.milwaukeemile.com, and by mentioning “Kenseth” when calling The Milwaukee Mile ticket office at (414) 453-8277. The offer is valid through this Sunday, February 28.

In 2009, The Milwaukee Mile is set to hold the stars of the IndyCar Series the Sunday following the Indianapolis 500 on May 31, the popular NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series events on June 19 & 20, and the return of Kenseth competing against short track racing’s finest in a special Wisconsin All-Star 100 super late model event on August 29.

It was recently announced that Wisconsin Motorsports, LLC has signed a new promoter agreement with the Wisconsin State Fair Park Board, which ensures the near-term and long-term future of auto racing at America’s Legendary Oval. All purchased tickets for 2009 events at The Milwaukee Mile will be honored.
