Renewable, responsible energy recognized by President Bush. The IndyCar Series always has been recognized for its technical leadership in automobile racing. Now it will be the motorsports leader in renewable and environmentally responsible energy. |
The long-term message is clear: If 650-horsepower IndyCar Series cars that cover the length of a football field in 1 second can run safely and effectively on ethanol, so can your automobile. |
Fusion of power and innovation has been a hallmark of the IndyCar Series since its inception. In 2007, the series again will be a technological pioneer with the introduction of 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol in its Honda Indy V-8 engines. |
The Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC) has contracted Renova Energy, based in Torrington, Wyo., to supply 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol to the IndyCar Series throughout the 2007 season. |
