The Launch will also include the presentation of the 2007 Akerman Senterfitt Ethanol Innovator Award in Sports to IndyCar Series in recognition of their conversion to a 100% fuel grade Ethanol powered series.
EPIC, IndyCar’s Ethanol partner, will also receive the award and will have their Ethanol racecar on display.
“Next year we'll be switching the IndyCar Series to a hundred percent fuel-grade Ethanol. We'll be the first racing series ever in the world to do that. It's important for us, it demonstrates...our commitment to our energy and our nation's energy security. It is a hundred percent biodegradable, it's a renewable fuel source, it's cleaner from every aspect of it.”
