JOHNSTON, Iowa – December 4, 2023 – Iowa Corn is proud to be the entitlement partner of the first-ever NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa Speedway. The Iowa Corn 350, Powered by Ethanol, will showcase the performance of ethanol at the Fastest Short Track on the Planet, which is surrounded by corn fields.
“I am pleased to share with the NASCAR family, why choosing higher blends of ethanol benefits everyone,” said Stan Nelson, a farmer from Middletown and the Iowa Corn Promotion Board President. “We can make a sustainable difference today, without buying a whole new vehicle, but by simply choosing to fuel up with ethanol at the pump. And not only are we benefiting the environment but also our economy, as ethanol is the most affordable renewable fuel option on the market today.”
