Iowa State colors, biofuels to run at Iowa Speedway
Iowa State University, which was named by Biofuels Digest as the 2010 Institutional Research Facility of the Year, will be featured at the Iowa Speedway’s NASCAR event May 21-22. The car driven by Tanner Whitten in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East/West Challenge at 7 p.m. May 21 will race with Iowa State colors and logos. In 2011, NASCAR started fueling its stock cars with a blend of 15 percent ethanol made with corn grown by American farmers. This month’s races will be the first time NASCAR’s ethanol-fueled cars will run in Iowa.
