Corn growers support Ethanol Night at the Races

Nebraska corn farmers are partnering with the Junction Motor Speedway to promote Ethanol Night at the Races during Junction Motor Speedway’s 4th Annual O’Reilly POWRi Cornhusker Midget Challenge to be held Tuesday, July 28th and Wednesday, July 29th.

Hamilton, York and Blue River corn grower associations, along with the Nebraska Corn Grower Association (NeCGA), are combining their efforts to be the title sponsor and promote corn ethanol during the two-day Cornhusker Challenge.

“The Cornhusker Challenge draws a lot of fans to central Nebraska, to the heart of the nation’s corn industry, so it is a perfect place for farmers to help get out positive messages about corn ethanol,” Brandon Hunnicutt, a member of the Hamilton County Corn Growers Association and president of NeCGA, said in a news release.

Rick Gruber of the York County Corn Growers Association said it is a tremendous opportunity for Nebraska’s corn industry to be part of the two-day motor sport event and promote the positives of ethanol during Ethanol Night at the Races.

The Cornhusker Challenge brings the nation’s best equipment and drivers to Junction Motor Speedway - as drivers vie for the twin “Cornhusker Crystal & Chrome” trophies.
