Burning cleaner and safer on the track.

Yes, the members of Team Ethanol and their high-performance vehicles are proving that ethanol is beneficial for the country and for the environment. But you can bet that in Drag Racing - the world's fastest motorsport, where acceleration is everything - ethanol delivers the high-octane power it takes to cover a quarter-mile in 4.5 seconds at 325 mph.

Second only to NASCAR in terms of attendance, fan appeal, and sponsorship commitment, drag racing has joined the campaign for value-added agriculture with ethanol. The widespread use of this renewable fuel promises to reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil, reduce the effects of global warming, create jobs, reverse the economic spiral for America's farmers, expand local tax bases and dramatically improve air quality.

Best of all, ethanol burns safer - decreasing the odds of burn injuries in traffic and motorsports accidents.

Ethanol: A positive energy balance.

It takes less than 35,000 BTUs of energy to turn corn into ethanol. The ethanol created offers at least 77,000 BTUs of energy - meaning that ethanol yields more energy than it takes to produce.
