Notes of Interest
● After a successful week in our nation’s capital, the NTT INDYCAR SERIES visits the Milwaukee Mile for a rare doubleheader and the year’s final oval races.
● The Milwaukee Mile is the oldest operating motor speedway in the world, hosting at least one auto race every year since 1903 (except during U.S. involvement in World War II). It operated as a dirt track until it was paved in 1954.
● In addition to the asphalt-paved oval, there is a 0.8-mile asphalt-paved road circuit located on the infield. From 1934 until 1953, the infield was the Milwaukee home of the NFL’s Green Bay Packers.
● A week ago in Washington, D.C., Texas A&M branding adorned everything from 2026 Indianapolis 500 winner Felix Rosenqvist’s car, uniform and helmet to local public transportation, and the school debuted a two-minute brand anthem commercial featuring Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and Texas A&M alumnus Lyle Lovett performing a new rendition of the 1970 hit “Let’s Work Together” during the race broadcast.
● At the Freedom 250, Texas A&M University served as the primary sponsor of Rosenqvist’s No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Honda. The partnership built on Texas A&M’s relationship with Rosenqvist and Meyer Shank Racing at the historic Indianapolis 500, while connecting the university’s approaching 150th anniversary, America’s 250th milestone, and a public-purpose message centered on trust, service, leadership, and national impact.

Felix Rosenqvist, No. 60 SiriusXM Honda
“I’m excited for the doubleheader. It’s essentially the most important weekend of the year in terms of points, with twice as many up for grabs. We have raised our oval game a lot this year, so I think we have a good shot.”
