Summary

  • Oscar Mayer’s first-ever “Wienie 500” race debuts May 23 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
  • All six Wienermobiles will compete, each repping a regional hot dog style

Oscar Mayer is turning up the heat with the first-ever “Wienie 500”, a high-stakes race featuring all six of its iconic Wienermobiles speeding around the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The race is set to stream live on May 23 at 2 p.m. ET via the FOX Sports app and INDYCARonFOX. Notably, the race marks the first time the full Wienermobile fleet has gathered for a competitive event in over a decade.

Each vehicle will represent a regional favorite — like the Chi Dog (Midwest) or the Slaw Dog (Southeast) — and compete for the coveted win in front of a national audience. The spectacle, complete with custom racing suits, a trophy ceremony in the “Wiener’s Circle” and even a celebratory condiment spray, will be featured in the Indy 500 pre-race show on FOX.

Fans can join in on the fun by entering a free-to-play DraftKings pool for a shot at winning part of a $10,000 USD prize.
