Welcome to race day at Iowa Speedway for the 4th Iowa Corn Indy 250. The Agriblogger is on location after a great media breakfast with the Iowa Corn Growers. They fed us well so we have the strength to make it through the day. We’re hoping for a break in the weather and I just heard that pre-race activities have been moved earlier by about 15 minutes. Not sure how much that will help.
I’ve been taking photos for Iowa Corn Growers and conducting corn grower interviews. Some of those will get posted after the race. I also interviewed Ron McQueeney, Indy Racing League, Director of Photography. He has a very good story about working with Paul Dana a number of years ago on a photo shoot that led to his racing IndyCar and ethanol powering these high performance machines. I’ll be featuring that next week.
More photos are in the photo album and I’ll be adding them all the way through Victory Lane this afternoon.
