Over the weekend, the Iowa Corn 350 Powered by Ethanol NASCAR race took to the track at the Iowa Speedway. Over 40,000 fans gathered to see the power and performance of ethanol, a product grown by Iowa’s corn farmers. “The Iowa Corn 350, Powered by Ethanol NASCAR race is like no other,” said Iowa Corn Promotion Board President Ralph Lents. “Over half of Iowa’s corn crop is processed into ethanol, making it our largest market.” Lents also said the fact that the race not only demonstrates the power and performance of ethanol but also showcases Iowa corn farmers’ sustainable practices growing one of the state’s most versatile crops used for fuel, feed, food, and 4,000 everyday products. In 2024, ethanol production added $437 million to the value of Iowa’s corn crop, lifting corn prices an average of 18 cents a bushel since 2002, and saving consumers $11 billion at the pumps.
