NASCAR fans will get a little more familiar with American-made ethanol fuel blends next week as three series races are being held at the Kentucky Speedway track in Sparta, July 7-9. Late last year, NASCAR announced they would be using E15 (blend of 15% ethanol) in their Sunoco racing gasoline in all cars and all races throughout the 2011 racing season. Through a partnership with Growth Energy and the National Corn Growers Association, the fuel is being promoted very well by drivers and promotions. The Kentucky Corn Growers Association will be making an appearance at the race track to celebrate the use of the corn-based fuel. A combine (machinery that harvests corn) will be set up in the display area to remind fans of the fuel's connection to rural America.
