Yesterday I posted the picture of Indy car driver Ryan Hunter-Reay getting the green flag in a pedal tractor race with Dick Gallagher, Iowa Corn Promotion Board Chairman. Here’s Ryan getting the checkered flag. I’ll see him race in the upcoming Iowa Corn Indy 250 at a speed somewhat higher than was exhibited in this tractor race and spoke with him after the day’s competition was over.
Ryan says the corn growers competition was a lot of fun. He loves coming to Iowa and working for the corn growers. You may remember that Ryan drove the Ethanol Car for some time, including here at the Iowa Speedway. You can listen to my interview with Ryan here: Ryan Hunter-Reay Interview
