Getting ready for the American Ethanol event at the Sprint Cup Series STP 400 race on the Kansas Speedway, some 1200 corn and ethanol supporters are gathering to watch.

Growth Energy CEO Tom Buis is busy doing media interviews this morning, including a live shot with Fox News. “There’s no sport more American than NASCAR, and no fuel more American than domestic ethanol,” said Tom Buis, CEO of Growth Energy. “People in Kansas know the benefits of using ethanol as a fuel – from cleaning the air to creating jobs to fostering national energy independence. We’re pleased to raise the green American Ethanol flag in the heartland of America.”
