INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis 500 fans can spend Friday afternoon “hot dogging” it as Oscar Mayer’s six iconic Wienermobiles come to town for the inaugural “Wienie 500” race.
The race is scheduled for Friday at 2 p.m. during race week's annual Carb Day festivities.
It marks the first time in a decade all six vehicles in the company fleet will be at the same location, and it's the first time they’ve ever raced.
Each Wienermobile will represent a regional favorite — the New York Dog for the East, Slaw Dog for the Southeast, Chilli Dog for the South, Chi Dog for the Midwest, Seattle Dog for the Northwest and Sonoran Dog for the Southwest.
The race will be streamed on the FOX Sports app with highlights being shown during the May 25 pre-race show.
