In a down-to-the-wire race among the six iconic Wienermobiles that serve as goodwill ambassadors for Oscar Mayer, the hot dog-on-wheels representing the Southeast proved to be the big dog on Carb Day ahead of Sunday’s running of the Indianapolis 500.

It made a dramatic pass of the Wienermobile repping Chicago at the finish line to win the inaugural Wienie 500 on Friday.

The margin was about a half a bun.

“You are standing in a moment in hot dog history right now,” Sarah Oney, who was co-piloting the Wienermobile representing New York with Connor Wolff, told The Associated Press. “This is the first-ever time we have honestly had all six Wienermobiles together and especially at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.”

Chicago was the looser (to be expected, given what the city is like now).

A few years ago, one of the Wienermobiles showed up near a crossroads about 3 miles from where I live. I went home and got my wife, but it was gone when we got back. In hindsight, I should have just stopped and got a whistle.

I heard they’ve got Abe Froman as a sponsor.

Meanwhile, we’ve got Little Feat.
