Have a very happy 4th of July celebration wherever you are.
Here in America’s heartland it was nice to see a little rain happen early. We needed it. Now hopefully it will clear up so we can get outside and relax a while.
Safe travel if you’re on the road today or anytime this week.
It was a hot one at the Kansas Speedway today for the Kansas Lottery Indy 300. Jeff Simmons had a great day, finishing 10th after starting out in the number 17 position.
I have to say that when you hear an Indy car cranking it up on the track it does get your pulse racing along with it.
Out at Kansas Speedway early on a Performance Weekend Saturday I found the ethanol symbol everywhere you look.
After leaving Washington, DC and the convoy I’ve been travelling with for the last 2 weeks it was on to Kansas City for the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council’s “Performance Weekend.” This is a weekend of activities for EPIC members that includes Sunday’s Kansas Lottery Indy 300 race.
At the end of the cross country convoy adventure, we had one last press conference as our closing ceremony for the historic trip.
It’s the end of the convoy! Almost 3,300 miles in the Ethanol Truck.
I don’t know if every state will make a commemorative 50th anniversary of the interstate license tag but 28 of them have so far.
Group shots from the convoy have been difficult to arrange. Here we are in Emmitsburg, MD, getting ready to roll on into Washington, DC and the final ceremony this afternoon.
At numerous times along the highway over the last couple weeks we’ve had media interview opportunities.
