Scorching Canine! Wiene 500 Returning to Indy 500 Week in 2026

Drivers, start your Wienermobiles!

The Wiene 500 will return to the Carb Day festivities in 2026 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

After a successful inaugural race last May, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles return for a repeat performance with the losers from last year looking to shred the race-winning Slaw Dog Wienermobile. Each Wienermobile will once again be named after a regional hot dog; fans can vote on social media whether the “Sonoran” Dog should return or another regional hot dog could experience a race that is no picnic.

The movies are enjoyable. The FOX Sports activities commentators take pleasure in a couple of puns. And it is a race that brings many smiles.

“The response to the primary Wienie 500 was overwhelming, and we heard the followers loud and clear that they have been hungry for extra,” stated Kelsey Rice, Model Communications Director at Oscar Mayer.

We’ll depart it at that for now and await if the second version passes the mustard on the Friday earlier than the Indy 500.
