It was great getting to see Ryan Hunter-Reay yesterday while promoting American made ethanol in Des Moines. Thanks to Claire Masker, Iowa Corn Growers Association, for taking the photo.
Ryan is very happy to be driving for ethanol again. He did so for a couple years back when it was known as Team Ethanol and now as Ethanol USA Team Izod. His car sponsorship for the season had run out until the deal was announced last week.
So here’s the car he’ll be driving on Sunday for the Iowa Corn Indy 250. Let’s hope the weather gives us a break. It stormed last night and again this morning. Corn fields really don’t need any more rain in Iowa right now.
I also shot a video clip of Indy Car driver Marco Andretti pulling up in race car driver style to have the Iowa Speedway car filled by Ryan. More interviews from the pump promotion will be posted on Domestic Fuel. Today I’m heading out to the track (after a severe storm passes) to check out the activities so I’ll be coming to you next from there.
