NASCAR converts to E15 ethanol blends

June 13, 2011 |

In Pennsylvania, the Sprint Cup Series competed yesterday using Sunoco Green E15 racing fuel. As promised in October when NASCAR announced that it would use ethanol in all three of its national series in 2011, this blend represents part of NASCAR’s initiative to “go green,” which began about two and a half years ago.

Tom Buis, CEO of Growth Energy, said in a telephone interview, “I love to tell people that there’s probably no sport more American than NASCAR and there’s no fuel more American than ethanol…it’s just a natural fit.”
