Iowa Corn Promotion Board is gearing up for the Iowa Corn 350 NASCAR race!

The power of corn-based ethanol will be on full display at the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series Race at Iowa Speedway.

Iowa Corn is sponsoring the event to connect with consumers and promote the role farmers play in bio-fuels.

Vice President of the Iowa Corn Promotion Board, Joe Roberts, joined RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender to discuss what we can expect from the race, the importance of the event, and a planting update.
