Follow The Money, NASCAR Edition

From the Green Bay Press.

NASCAR partners with American Ethanol as educational tool
Farmers: Partnership 'validates' alternative fuel for consumers

The announcement of the partnership Thursday comes weeks after NASCAR said it will use an E15 blend of ethanol in its top three racing divisions, including the Sprint Cup Series.

Corn producers say the move will help them reach millions of Americans weekly during the racing season.

"We have so much excess corn we have to find a market for, and this way (ethanol production) we're keeping the corn in the state and country and creating jobs," Dave Adams, president of Wisconsin Corn Promotion Board, said at a news conference at Lambeau Field. "You have to get people educated for them to use it."

First, if there is an excess of corn, why are corn prices going through the roof?

Second, how much money is being paid to NASCAR from the corn growers?

Third, between Jimmy Johnson and now the corn whores going to NASCAR, this is going over the top!

What's next, an IROC series with the Chevy Volt?

I would have no problem with ethanol if it was sold on it's own, but why do the tax payers have to give money to NASCAR to use E 85? Remember, corn and ethanol producers now get almost 8 billion dollars in subsidies from the U S government. If it's such great product, take away the subsidies and let's see if NASCAR will use it.

Bunch of WHORES!!!!!!!!!!

FOLLOW THE MONEY!

Maybe I should rethink my two weekends at MIS?
