Within the last couple of weeks, David Malsher of Motorsport.com has written two excellent articles regarding The Milwaukee Mile.

Although it has not been made official yet, all indications are that Tony Kanaan will be driving in the 107th Running of the Indianapolis 500. Last Friday, Marshall Pruett of Racer.com reported that the 2013 Indianapolis 500 winner would be driving a fourth car for Arrow McLaren SP in 2023.
