XM Satellite Radio Indy 300 Event Notes:
The XM Satellite Radio Indy 300 marks the competition debut of 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol, a worldwide racing first. Here are a few fun facts going into ethanol's first race weekend:
BY THE NUMBERS:
5,000 - The number of gallons of ethanol that were shipped to Homestead-Miami Speedway for use by IndyCar Series teams this weekend.
One - The number of plants that produce ethanol for the IndyCar Series. Renova Energy in Torrington, Wyo., is the exclusive supplier.
2005 - The year the IndyCar Series first announced plans for use of ethanol, after years of running on methanol.
10 - The percentage of ethanol blended with methanol in 2006, to prepare the IndyCar Series to the move to 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol in 2007.
22 - The size of an IndyCar Series car fuel tank. Since ethanol is more efficient than methanol, the IndyCar Series has reduced the size of its fuel tanks to 22 gallons this season.
6,372 - The number of laps run during the preseason Open Tests using 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol and the new 3.5 liter Honda HI7R V-8 Indy engine with no failures.
Timeline of Ethanol:
March 23, 2003 - Ethanol debuts as Paul Dana's sponsor at Kenn Hardley Racing in the Indy Pro Series at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
March 3, 2005 - Tony George, Brian Barnhart, Sen. Evan Byah (D-Ind.), Sen. Jim Talent (R-Mo.), Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) and Paul Dana announce plans at Union Station in Washington D.C. for the IndyCar Series to transition to 100 percent ethanol by 2007.
March 6, 2005 - Ethanol and Dana make their IndyCar Series debut at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
March 26, 2006 - The IndyCar Series uses a 90 percent methanol-10 percent ethanol blend at Homestead-Miami Speedway to prepare for the transition to 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol in 2007.
September 26, 2006 - Vitor Meira turns the first laps on 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol during the IndyCar Series compatibility test at Daytona International Speedway.
March 21, 2007 - Tony George, Jeff Simmons, Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) and Sen. Evan Byah (D-Ind.) are joined by a non-partisan group of legislatures to honor the IndyCar Series' first race run on 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol.
