Podcast: NASCAR coming to Husker Harvest Days

In this podcast, Dennis Scamehorn, a farmer from York and member of the Nebraska Corn Growers Association, notes that there are a couple NASCAR connections coming to Husker Harvest Days next week.

He said right out front the Ag Commodities building on Husker Harvest Days main street will be the show car for American Ethanol #33 driver Clint Bowyer, one of the top NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers. The fully decked out Chevy is available for close examination and photos all three days, he said.

Another NASCAR connection arrives just in time for the Renewable Fuels Month proclamation on Wednesday, September 14 at 10 a.m. That’s when NASCAR Nationwide driver Kenny Wallace arrives. Scamehorn said Wallace make a few remarks to the crowd in front of the Ag Commodities building as part of the proclamation.

He’ll stick around until noon to sign autographs and pose for photos.

The Nebraska Corn Growers will be handing out ice cold, corn-sugar sweetened cans of Coca Cola all three days of the show — and hosting a social hour for those participating in the National Corn Yield Contest. The social hour begins on the back porch at the close of the show Tuesday and Wednesday (Sept. 13 and 14). "It’s a great time to visit with other growers and let the traffic ease a bit," he said.
