Learjet 500 Jeff Simmons and the Ethanol Indy car started 15th finished 15th in the Learjet Bombadier 500 Saturday night in Fort Worth, TX – a nice clean race with only two cars out and no accidents. See the full race results at WhoWon.com. It was just nice to see the Ethanol car cross the finish line. Prior to the event, the Corn Producers Association of Texas and National Corn Growers Association joined the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council and Indy Racing League to help introduce ethanol to the Dallas area. According to an NCGA release, the groups held an ethanol promotion at a 7-Eleven station, which sold 10 percent ethanol blends (E-10) for $2.20 per gallon, 60 cents off the regular price. IRL drivers Tony Kanaan and Jeff Simmons and other volunteers pumped more than 2,200 gallons of the ethanol-blended fuel in two hours.
