The day is finally here. On Friday afternoon, Oscar Mayer’s six iconic Wienermobiles will hit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the first-ever "Wienie 500" race, in celebration of Sunday's Indianapolis 500 ( 12:30 p.m. ET on FOX ).

Just ahead of this year's Indianapolis 500, there's a new race that fans are already relishing: The Wienie 500.

Oscar Mayer’s Wienermobiles are racing at the Indianapolis Speedway in the "Wienie 500" because summer isn’t official until hot dogs hit the track.
