Former Iowa Hawkeye and NBA basketball player, Ryan Bowen, was a master of the remote controlled cars at the Iowa Corn Growers Join The Team promotion at Iowa Speedway. Ryan, who is now the video coordinator for the men’s basketball team, was there to celebrate the recently announced partnership between Iowa’s corn growers and the state’s two major universities in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series.
“I don’t think you can think about Iowa and not think about corn, the University of Iowa and Iowa State,” Ryan said in an interview during the fun event, which featured pedal tractors, cornhole toss, corn shucking, remote controlled race cars and more. Ryan, pictured here in the yellow shirt, got his remote car through finish line way ahead of other team!
