Kentucky Corn Growers Celebrate Use of American Ethanol and Hometown Track

One-hundred thousand NASCAR fans were able to see the performance benefits of Sunoco Green E15, the racing fuel with 15% ethanol, as cars raced round the Kentucky Speedway track this past weekend. Kentucky's corn farmers attended to celebrate and help spread the good word about the domestic, farm-raised fuel. NASCAR announced they would use E15 in all of the race cars last fall. A partnership between NASCAR, Growth Energy and the National Corn Growers Association - called American Ethanol - works to promote the fuel's benefits. Drivers and racing teams are pleased with the fuel so far, as they are seeing increased horsepower. NASCAR is pleased with the environmental benefits.
