Road America president would ‘love to see NASCAR come back’

If NASCAR is returning to Wisconsin with a national race anytime soon, Road America’s president gave no indication that would happen at his track.

Mike Kertscher characterized his most recent contact with NASCAR officials as an exchange of pleasantries during the Rolex 24 at Daytona endurance race weekend in Florida in January.

…..

Although NASCAR wasn’t at Road America at all last season, the Milwaukee Mile hosted the truck series for the second straight year. Then that date went away for 2025 due to a scheduling conflict with IndyCar.

“We’d love to see NASCAR come back,” Kertscher said. “It looks good here. It’s a nice product. Our success certainly isn’t defined by having it here, but we’d love to see it come back.
