2009 nns northerntool com 250 at the milwaukee mile


The NorthernTool.com 250 was a NASCAR Nationwide Series race held at the Milwaukee Mile. From 1984 to 1985, the race was 200 laps, 200 miles (321.9 km) long. From 1986 to 1992, no race was held. In 1993, the race returned, and was increased to 250 laps, 250 miles (402.3 km), a distance it would remain at until the final race was held in 2009. The race was traditionally held Sunday afternoons, while the Winston Cup Series was either off or at a different venue, but starting in 2004, the race was run on Saturday night.

Until the race sponsor changed to Camping World in 2008, the sponsorship of this race was not affected by the September 7, 2007, settlement between AT&T and NASCAR in regard to a grandfathered sponsorship deal, as Anheuser-Busch, the sponsor of the now NASCAR Nationwide Series at the time of the lawsuit, was not associated with the wireless industry. The 2010 race was canceled and the date was moved across Wisconsin to Road America.

  • 2006: race extended due to a green-white-checker finish.
  • 2007: Aric Almirola started the race for Denny Hamlin, who had arrived to the track late. After Hamlin arrived, he took over the car and went on to win. Because Almirola started the race, he was credited with the victory, giving him his first Nationwide Series win.
