HISTORY OF IOWA CORN & THE SPEEDWAY (WHY NASCAR)

25,000+ seats sold out for the race and 1000 farmers and their families present to watch their product in action on the fastest short-track in the nation surrounded by corn fields.

A large, national audience excited about the power and performance of ethanol with 4.1 million unique viewers.

Driving online traffic and increasing brand exposure with 7.6 million digital page views.

If you divide Iowa’s 2023 corn crop by the race’s 350 laps, each time around the track would equate to 7 million bushels. Corn is a major economic engine for the state.
