Capitol Lawmakers Pay Tribute to IndyCar Series for Transition to Ethanol

Motorsports pioneer at the forefront of the “Greening of Racing”

Sens. Richard Lugar (R-Ind), Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) and a bi-partisan group of lawmakers will join Indy Racing League founder and CEO Tony George and IndyCar® Series driver Jeff Simmons on Capitol Hill on March 21 to honor the IndyCar Series for its transition to 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol for the 2007 season. The fuel switch makes the IndyCar Series the motorsports leader in renewable and environmentally responsible fuel produced in the U.S. The 17-race IndyCar Series season opens March 24 under the lights at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
