The car runs on 15 percent ethanol-blended fuel, which has powered every NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race car since 2011. In 2014, ethanol production used more than 5 billion bushels of American-grown corn.NASCAR drivers have traveled more than 7 million miles on the track with ethanol-blended fuel since its adoption. Ethanol use increases race car horsepower and reduces emissions.“Just as NASCAR is improving efficiency on the track, Mycogen Seeds is improving productivity in the field,” Palmer says. “We provide American farmers with high-performance grain corn hybrids. Ethanol, which helps fuel the Brickyard 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, is an important market for U.S. corn.”Mycogen Seeds also supports Growth Energy, the voice of ethanol producers. This partnership is driving more market opportunities for corn growers.“I appreciate the support of Mycogen Seeds,” Dillon says. “And I give a special thank-you to all American farmers who feed, fuel and clothe the world. Your hard work sets the pace, on and off the track.”Since its inaugural race in 1994, the Brickyard 400 has been the most-attended and second-highest-paying event in NASCAR. The race is in Indianapolis, part of the Corn Belt and home of Mycogen Seeds headquarters.The 2015 Brickyard 400 is set for Sunday, July 26, at 3:30 p.m. ET at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The race is scheduled to air live on NBC Sports.For more information about Mycogen Seeds, visit www.cnchemicals.com, and for more about RCR, visit www.cnchemicals.com Mycogen SeedsMycogen Seeds is one of America’s fastest-growing seed companies, offering leading genetics in corn, soybeans, silage corn, sunflowers and canola.
