Indiana Senator Evan Bayh wrote a letter yesterday to NASCAR President Brian France, asking that NASCAR consider using U.S. ethanol to power its cars. The letter says NASCAR using ethanol "would set an example for its fans."
Indiana is, of course, a large producer of corn, the feedstock of choice for ethanol today.
“No one loves this country more than auto racing fans, and NASCAR has a unique opportunity to take a step that will help the environment and help our national security,†said Senator Bayh.

The Indy Racing League began racing on ethanol fuel this season.
