Edible Car, 91% Cake, Sets Record For Speed, Distance

NOEL KING, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Noel King. There's a new record for speed and distance by an edible car. Officially, it was 91% cake. Indy racing legend Michael Andretti won, covering 350 feet at a top speed of 17 miles an hour. The event was to help launch the parking garage at a new casino in Washington state. After the race, everyone got Champagne, milk and slices of car. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
