IndyCars to Run on Indiana Corn-Based Ethanol in 2027

The IndyCar series has announced that they will be using a corn-based ethanol blend to fuel their high-speed machines for the 2027 season. This decision is part of a larger effort by corn growers to promote alternative uses for corn around the world.

J.R. Reisner, a Dubois County farmer, was instrumental in bringing this initiative to the IndyCar series. He believes that the use of ethanol fuel will not only be beneficial for the environment but also help bring attention to the benefits of biofuels among the general public.

The switch to corn-based ethanol is expected to have a significant impact on the racing circuit, with organizers hoping it will prove its worth as a viable alternative to traditional fuels. Reisner's efforts are seen as a major step forward in promoting the use of renewable energy sources.
