What: The ABC Supply Wisconsin 250, the 16th of 18 races on the Verizon IndyCar Series, highlights the IndyFest weekend at the Milwaukee Mile on the grounds of State Fair Park in West Allis.

When: Friday-Sunday with only support series on track Friday.

Schedule: Saturday — One-hour IndyCar practices 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and qualifying 4:15 p.m.; Pro Mazda race 6:30 p.m. Sunday — Indy Lights 1 p.m., IndyCar 2:45 p.m.

Tickets: (414) 266-7100 and www.indyfest.com. The grandstand is open Friday, no tickets necessary. General admission Saturday is $20 ($5 for 12 and under). Reserved grandstand tickets Sunday range from $29 to $79. Additional general admission, paddock and pit pass options are available.

Support series: Firestone Indy Lights and Pro Mazda. Both are on track for testing Friday.

Festival events: A street party with driver appearances, music and a car show is set for 5 p.m. Friday adjacent to the Hilton Milwaukee City Center hotel on the corner of 5th St. and Wisconsin Ave. A fan village in the track's infield will host driver question-and-answer sessions and a full-field autograph session (10:30 a.m. Sunday). Other events at the track include a pro beach volleyball tournament and rickshaw races.

Last year: Ryan Hunter-Reay celebrated his first Father's Day with son Ryden in victory lane after a convincing repeat victory. His car worked well in a variety of lines while his pursuers struggled, and Hunter-Reay beat Helio Castroneves by nearly 5 seconds. Takuma Sato led a race-high 109 laps and built a gap of more than 4 seconds but then lost the handling of his car, nearly crashed several times and finished seventh.

History: In addition to Hunter-Reay (2012 and '13, Champ Car 2004), other Milwaukee winners at the track who are entered are Juan Pablo Montoya (2000), Sebastien Bourdais (Champ Car 2006), Tony Kanaan (2006, '07), Ryan Briscoe (2008) and Scott Dixon (2009).

IndyCar Series update: Will Power leads Team Penske cohort Castroneves at the top of the standings, 546-544. Hunter-Reay has scored a series-high three victories — including Indianapolis and Iowa, two of the three oval races — but also has failed to finish four times, which has left him 63 points out of the lead in third place. Ed Carpenter Racing has taken the unique approach of fielding one car but two drivers with Mike Conway on the road courses and Carpenter on the ovals, a strategy that has yielded three victories. Carlos Huertas is the only first-time winner. Dixon broke through for his first victory of the season in the most recent round, two weeks ago at Mid-Ohio.
