The Iowa Corn 350, Powered by Ethanol NASCAR Cup Series was held over the weekend, with over 1,800 Iowa Corn Grower Association members and their families watching Ty Gibbs take the victory fueled with a 15% ethanol fuel blend – Unleaded 88 or E15.

“The energy that overtakes Iowa Speedway during the Iowa Corn 350, Powered by Ethanol NASCAR race is undeniable,” said Iowa Corn Promotion Board (ICPB) President and farmer from Belmond, Iowa, Joe Roberts. “Iowa corn fields surround the track, and it’s incredible to partner with NASCAR to use their national platform to make that connection to attendees not only in the stands, but to the millions of viewers watching at home, that the crop surrounding the track plays a huge role in fueling their favorite drivers. Additionally, we aren’t only promoting ethanol, but also the over 4,000 other products made from corn and the Iowa corn farmers who grow it.”

The Iowa Corn 350 was NASCAR Cup Series’ first race at Iowa Speedway and first race in the state of Iowa.
