In the biggest racing news of the weekend, IMS announced the return of the Weinie 500. The race will be sandwiched between the Carb Day practice for the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 and the Pit Stop competition.
The announcement from IMS:
Oscar Mayer Weinie 500 Returns to Miller Lite Carb Day May 22
The meatiest race in motorsports is officially back!
Oscar Mayer announced the second annual Wienie 500 will return to the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Miller Lite Carb Day, Friday, May 22, leading up to the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge Sunday, May 24.
The race returns with a sizzling new twist! Following a disappointing performance in last year’s race, the Sonoran Dog is officially relegated due to not cutting the mustard, leaving a spot open for a new regional dog to enter the competition.
Race lovers can visit @Wienermobile on Instagram to cast their vote in the first-ever ‘Pick Your Dog’ Wienie 500 bracket where they can choose from a fresh lineup of seven new regional hot dogs or opt to give Sonoran Dog another shot at qualifying.
