Money buys anything
In a joint announcement at the NASCAR Fuel for Business Council meeting in Chicago, New Holland became the Official Agricultural Equipment of NASCAR. New Holland, the latest NASCAR Official Partner, has served the needs of farmers and ranchers across North America for more than 110 years, and its equipment plays a critical role in the production of ethanol.
In 2011, NASCAR announced a switch in its three national series to Sunoco Green E15, a 15% ethanol blend fuel made with corn grown in the United States. The low-carbon fuel emits 20% less greenhouse emissions than unleaded gasoline. New Holland manufactures a wide range of equipment essential for the crop production and harvesting of corn used to produce the biofuel.
"We are proud of our newly expanded alliance with NASCAR and the role our equipment plays in helping power the sport," says Abe Hughes, vice president of New Holland, North America. "We are the agricultural industry's Clean Energy Leader, and are looking forward to further enhancing our 30-year relationship with a sport that is pushing the bar on clean and efficient fuel that is not only helping to restore America's energy independence, but also serves to strengthen American farmers and the rural economy. New Holland stands 100% behind this impact."
