The Indianapolis Motor Speedway announced the return of the Oscar Meyer Wienie 500 for a second event supporting the Indianapolis 500 this year.
All six existing Wienermobile vehicles will come together for a unique show for fans rather than being simply on display.
The event begins with driver introductions on the famous yard of bricks and ends with a two-lap race around the 2.5-mile oval.
Although the race is more of a choreographed performance due to vehicle safety issues, the fan response from last year was largely positive.
With an anticipated bigger and bolder experience this year, fans can look forward to amplified engagement, intensified rivalries, and surprises at the forefront of the event.
Last year’s Wienie 500 drew over 85,000 fans in person and millions online, and this year’s event will be covered on television to further expand the audience.
Fans also have the chance to vote for the replacement flavor of the hot dog vehicle that finished last in the previous year. The Wienie 500 is scheduled for Friday, May 22, following the traditional Carb Day practice.
