COOK ON RACING AT THE MILWAUKEE MILE:
“The Milwaukee Mile has its own identity. It has a lot of the same characteristics as Indianapolis Raceway Park and New Hampshire International Speedway but they all do drive differently. The middle of the corner at IRP is kinda like the middle of the corner at Milwaukee; it’s slow and you have to be patient getting back in the throttle. You use a lot of brakes like at Milwaukee like you would need to get around New Hamphsire so IRP and New Hampshire would probably be the two closest tracks to Milwaukee we run on.”
