The first-ever Wienie 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway just went down (the race doesn't start in the video until 15:45 mark)

at 21:30, one of the racers blows a headgasket. That race doesn't end until 24:12. Yeah, 9 minute race

Six Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles—each themed after a regional hot dog—lined up for glory: Chi Dog (Midwest), New York Dog (East), Slaw Dog (Southeast), Chili Dog (South), Seattle Dog (Northwest), and Sonoran Dog (Southwest). 

And in the most American spectacle of the year, they actually raced

The winner? Slaw Dog, edging out Chi Dog in a photo finish
