  Popped into get a quick break from shopping and a cold new Glarus spotted cow.  The bar had 5 other customers and we were all happy to look out at sleet and rain during our extended winters and springs as well.   The bartender was very nice, they had plenty of TVs. Seats were comfortable.

  This place is easy to overlook.  I drove around for 45 minutes trying to find anything but a Friday's or Applebee's for a beer.  Brookfield is about as strip mall suburban chain as it gets.  But, I was on a mission which I firmly succeeded at.  I could have walked here from my hotel if it were not for the mile of knee deep snow (I'm pretty sure it was up hill both ways too) between me and warmth.  Hey I'm from Atlanta give me a break..
  
  Nothing fancy about this place but the logo on the sign out front.  Very small place with a couple pool tables, big screen TV and some video machines.  Full of local flavor though.  The late owner who passed away last year was an open wheel racer, hence the name and theme.
  
  I went on a Tuesday night and was kind of slow but a very friendly bartender.  And a very friendly bar dog, who happens to like vodka waters if you're buying a round.
  
  If your searching for the unique in the land of strip mall clones stop in for a drink or five.  They had 6 beers on tap including two locals and then the standard American pulls.  Reasonably priced at $3.25 a pull.
  
  Has a menu on the wall of fried things and burgers but didn't try any.
