Iowa Corn continues sponsorship of INDYCAR race
The Iowa Corn Growers Association and the Iowa Corn Promotion Board will continue their sponsorship of the annual Iowa Corn Indy 250 race in 2012.
It’s the sixth year for Iowa Corn’s sponsorship of the event, which takes place at the Iowa Speedway near Newton.
Iowa Corn CEO Craig Floss says the INDYCAR race is an excellent opportunity to promote ethanol—and he says this year will be especially exciting as INDYCAR will begin using E85, a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, in its vehicles.
The IndyCar Series has been running on 100 percent ethanol since 2007. The switch to E85 is seen as a marketing move designed to align the series with a fuel that consumers can use in their own flex-fuel vehicles.
This year’s race takes place Saturday, June 23rd.
