Drivers, start your … Wienermobiles?

On Friday afternoon, ahead of Sunday’s Indianapolis 500, Oscar Mayer’s six iconic Wienermobiles will hit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and compete in the inaugural “Wienie 500” race.

The race is scheduled for Friday at 2 p.m. ET during race week’s annual Carb Day festivities, and will be streamed on the FOX Sports app.

It marks the first time in a decade all six vehicles in the company fleet will be at the same location, and it’s the first time the Wienermobiles have ever raced. Because of that, it might be hard to pick a favorite, but there are other things that can be considered when choosing your team.
