In this blog we take a look back at the 1994 CART Miller Genuine Draft 200 at the Milwaukee Mile on June 5, 1994.
The weekend prior to the Milwaukee Mile race was the Indianapolis 500 which was won by Al Unser Jr. in his Team Penske Ilmor powered Indy Car.
There are not too many racers that have won the Indy 500 and the Milwaukee Mile race the following weekend but Al Unser Jr. was one of them to win both in 1994!
This was the year that Michael Andretti came back to Indy Car with the Target Chip Ganassi Team after an unsuccessful year in Formula 1.
Notice also the photos of Rick Mears giving Casey Mears some advice in his Indy Lights car.
One of the best liveries ever of an Indy Car is Adrian Fernandez Tecate car seen here. It's just beautiful, as is Bobby Rahal's Miller Genuine Draft car.
The Miller Genuine Draft 200 actually became the Miller Genuine Draft 192 because rain ended the race on lap 192.
Raul Boesel was on the pole position but Al Unser Jr. dominated the race.
Finishing second to Al Unser Jr. was Emerson Fittipaldi and Paul Tracy making the top three cars, all Team Penske.
Enjoy a look at the Milwaukee Mile in 1994 and get your tickets for the races this year on August 31 and September 1.
