Indy Race Week Is Here

Chuck Zimmerman

2007 Indy Ethanol SummitI sure hope you’re not getting tired of hearing about where I’m going next. This time it’s another ethanol related adventure in Indianapolis. It’s race week folks and that means working with the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council once again. I’m heading east today and there are activities scheduled through race time on Sunday.

For example, on Thursday, we’re going to have the Ethanol Summit at the race track.

Learn more about the benefits of Ethanol and its use as the official fuel in this year’s 91st Running of the Indianapolis 500. A variety of ethanol industry leaders will be on hand to speak about a wide range of ethanol issues, from performance, environmental and economic benefits, to E85 initiatives, growing consumer demand and the renaissance of rural America. Speakers include:

Jeff Simmons # 17 Team Ethanol Driver
Will Steger, Will Steger Foundation
Tom Slunecka, Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC)
Terry Angstadt, President IndyCar Series
Jim Gentry, Gas America
Thomas Dorr, Under Secretary for Rural Development
Dave Vander Griend, ICM, Inc.

We’re going to have all the sights and sounds we can post here and on Domestic Fuel. I say “we” because I’ll have help. More on that later.
