Indy Racing, Monsanto and EPIC

Chuck Zimmerman

ZimmCast-117 - Promoting Ethanol With IndyI’m fresh off another on-location adventure with the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council. This season I’ll be covering about 6 IRL races. The next one is the big one in Indianapolis. This past week it was in Kansas City and so the ZimmCast this week features some interviews from that event.

Tom Slunecka and Robert WhiteWe had a lot of fun there. We in this case being Tom Slunecka, EPIC Executive Director (left) and Robert White, EPIC Director of Operations. They actually got to have the “Indy Experience” and ride as passengers in an Indy car that cranked it up for a few laps. Me, I got to take pictures and shoot video of it. But that’s not who I interviewed.

In this week’s program I have interviews with Indy Racing League Public Relations Director, Amy Konrath who talks about what the relationship with ethanol has meant to the League. Then I spoke to Monsanto’s Biofuels Lead, Troy Hobbs, who explains why Monsanto is a member of EPIC and what the company is doing to support agriculture and ethanol production.
