IRL IndyCar Series
Menard's A.J. Foyt 225 (2004)

The ABC Supply Company/A.J. Foyt 225 is an Indy Racing League IndyCar Series race held at The Milwaukee Mile in West Allis, Wisconsin.

American open wheel racing debuted at the track in 1933. AAA sanctioned races from 1933, 1937-1939, 1941, 1946-1955. USAC sanctioned Championship car races from 1956-1979. In 1980, the race switched to a CART champ car race, and continued through 2003. For most years starting in 1949, Milwaukee hosted the first race following the Indianapolis 500. From 1947-1982, Milwaukee generally hosted two races, one in June, and the other in August or September. Starting in 1983, the second race was dropped.

Starting in 2004, the track began hosting two separate open wheel races, a Champ Car race, and an Indy Racing League event. The Champ Car event remained on the traditional weekend after Indianapolis, and the IRL event was held in July. Champ Car dropped the Milwauke Mile from the schedule beginning in 2007. The IRL will move their race to its traditional date, the weekend after the Indy 500.
