These representatives of the Iowa Corn Growers were getting in some pit practice action this afternoon. Jeff Simmons, driver of the #17 Ethanol car for Rahal-Letterman Racing got his first laps on this track this afternoon. He’s peeling out of his pit behind them.

He just got done dialing in the computer settings with his team in advance of what looks like some stormy weather moving in.

I’m glad these drivers got their practice in because there’s not much time left before Sunday’s Iowa Corn Indy 250. They’ll do qualifying tomorrow.
