NASCAR ends its Milwaukee Mile races

WEST ALLIS, Wis., Dec. 17 (UPI) -- NASCAR announced Thursday its races at the Milwaukee Mile race course in West Allis, Wis., will not be run because a promoter could not be determined.

The Milwaukee Mile, which is operated by the Wisconsin State Fair Park Board, has spent the last six months in negotiations with four potential promoters, but none were found, the announcement said.

The Nationwide NorthernTool.com 250 had been scheduled for June 18, 2010, with a truck race scheduled the previous day.

"We have learned that the promoter cannot meet the terms of their agreement," NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said in a statement. "NASCAR was aware of this possibility, and we have been working on alternate opportunities on the 2010 schedule for both series and will announce those soon."

The one-mile track has held a Nationwide race since it opened in 1903.
