And the Southeast Wienermobile, where racing evolved, took the win in the 03 Slaw Dog.
The “Wienie 500” may not have broken speed records, but it easily won the title of most delicious spectacle in racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s Carb Day Friday afternoon.
Six Oscar Mayer hot dog-shaped Wienermobiles traveled across the country to compete in their first race ever.
All the U.S. regions were represented including the Chili Dog for the South, Chi Dog for the Midwest, New York Dog for the East, Slaw Dog for the Southeast, Seattle Dog for the Northwest and Sonoran Dog for the Southwest.
The iconic vehicles mustard up some speed for two laps around the 2.5-mile track, reaching top speeds of about 40 mph. In the final stretch, Slaw Dog was able to make a final pass against Chi Dog and took the checkered flag. Afterward, the winners headed to the ‘Wiener’s Circle’ to receive a trophy to commemorate their win.
The inaugural “Wienie 500” will be broadcast Sunday in the pre-race show ahead of the 109th running of the Indy 500.
