Wienie 500, Indianapolis and hot dog
Digest more
The "Wienie 500" is a first-of-its-kind spectacle where the fleet of Wienermobiles will haul buns to the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a race unlike any other. The race is scheduled for Friday at 2 p.m. during race week’s annual Carb Day festivities.
A new iconic American racing tradition was born at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Friday as the first-ever Wienie 500 set the track ablaze — or whatever the equivalent is of doing 60 miles per hour in a giant hot dog on wheels.
The Oscar Mayer Wienie 500 was more than a race; it was a chance for one of the six Wienermobiles to earn the title of "Top Dog."
We grilled the crew of these Wienermobiles and even got a tour as they relished in the chance to race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
