I suspect that it had to do with $$$$ sponsorship, for the Indy 500  ....
the ethanol group out this way is immensly powerful, ... ( ADM just to start
with )  production is already into the billions of gallons .... even 1 cent
from each gallon would make a nice budget for a racecar or maybe even 33
racecars (g).

Hey, over here, ADM, I got such a deal for you !!
***********
...And I think the Indy 500 just might be the best ( advertising ) bang for
the bucks....  hey, that was really a show, right ... ironic that Ms. Danica
Patrick probably wouldn[t have needed that last pit stop if she had been
running methanol, not ethanol....
************
Funny to observe the pro-ethanol people  ( I am one of them ) ... skip over
the nearly secret government subsidy when discussing the glories of using
ethanol.  The hope is to eventually conjure it up cheaper than crude
drippings.
