Iowa Corn is proud to be the authorized partner of the first-ever NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa Speedway. The ethanol-powered Iowa Corn 350 will showcase ethanol performance on the fastest short track on the planet.
“I am pleased to share with the NASCAR family why choosing higher ethanol blends benefits everyone,” said Stan Nelson, a Middletown farmer and president of the Iowa Corn Promotion Board. “We can make a sustainable difference today, without buying an entirely new vehicle, but simply choosing to fuel with ethanol at the pump. And we are not only benefiting the environment but also our economy, since ethanol is the most affordable renewable fuel option on the market today.”
Grandstand and camp tickets for the ethanol-powered Iowa Corn 350 are sold out.
The ethanol-powered Iowa Corn 350 will take place at 6 p.m. on June 16 and will be broadcast live on USA Network.
