Racing fans won't need to wait until Sunday to relish the festivities of Indianapolis 500 weekend, as six Wienermobiles stroll onto the track Friday for the first Wiene 500. Slaw Dog and New York Dog are favorites.

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.

Hailing from the Southeast, Slaw Dog and its Pilots, Maddy Mustard, and Grill-Master Matthew just eched their names into history as the inaugural winners of the Wienie 500.

On Carb Day this year, Oscar Mayer's "Hotdoggers " hauled their buns to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the first Wienie 500 race, each representing a regional hot dog style. Ahead of the race, fans were invited to place their hands on their bellies and sing along with the Oscar Mayer Wiener song.

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."

An American automotive legend is giving a new meaning to the phrase “fast food.” On Friday, Oscar Mayer’s Verona-based Wienermobile fleet will be put to the test at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the inaugural Wienie 500.

This Carb Day has a bit of everything. Check out the schedule of Friday events ahead of the 2025 Indianapolis 500.
