Alright, so get this! The day we’ve all been waiting for is finally here. Oscar Mayer’s famous Wienermobiles are gearing up to hit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the very first “Wienie 500” race. And guess what? It’s all going down in celebration of the upcoming Indianapolis 500 race on Sunday. I mean, can you believe it? This is gonna be epic!
When and Where
The big race is set to kick off on Friday at 2 p.m. during the Carb Day festivities of race week. So, mark your calendars and get ready for some serious hot dog racing action at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway. And don’t worry about missing out because you can catch all the excitement live on the FOX Sports app or @INDYCARonFOX social accounts.
Who’s Racing?
Now, let’s talk about the real stars of the show – the Wienermobiles! Each one representing a different region of the country. From the New York Dog to the Seattle Dog, these iconic vehicles are ready to show off their speed and agility on the racetrack. Not gonna lie, I have my money on the Chi Dog representing the Midwest. Let’s see if they can bring home the win!
Why Hot Dogs?
Not really sure why this matters, but hot dogs and racing seem to go hand in hand. According to Kelsey Rice, the brand communications director at Oscar Mayer, the Indy 500 is all about kicking off the summer and hot dog season. So, why not bring some friendly competition and delicious meats to the Speedway? I mean, who doesn’t love a good hot dog while watching some fast cars zoom by? Last year, a whopping 42,000 hot dogs were served at the Indy 500. Now that’s a lot of weenies!
So, if you’re looking for some fun and excitement this weekend, be sure to tune in to the Wienie 500 race. Who knows, maybe you’ll even win big with DraftKings Sportsbook’s free-to-play contest. And remember, it’s all about celebrating summer, hot dogs, and a little friendly competition. See you at the finish line!
