Where to watch the Wienie 500: Channel, time, TV schedule, live stream for Indy Wienermobile race

Returning for a second year after its debut in 2025, the Wienie 500 will hit the track Friday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

This high-stakes race will bring six of Oscar Mayer's iconic Wienermobiles into a competition for the title of "Top Dog". Several IndyCar Series drivers will also coach the wienie drivers as they race for the coveted Borg-Wiener Trophy, and comedian Andy Richter will preside over the event as the "Commander in Beef".

Fans from across the country will all have a Wienie to root for — the race will feature Chi Dog, New York Dog, Chili Dog, Seattle Dog and reigning champion Slaw Dog. The public got to choose who would fill the coveted sixth spot, and Corn Dog won the honors.

Be sure to tune in to see who makes it to the "Wieners Circle".
