"The Indy 500 marks the unofficial kickoff of summer and the start of hot dog season," said Kelsey Rice, brand communications director at Oscar Mayer. "As a brand known for sparking smiles in disarmingly delightful ways, it's only fitting that we bring a race of epic proportions to the Speedway and celebrate a timeless tradition: delicious meats and a little friendly competition to kick off a summer of wieners."
Roughly 42,000 hot dogs were served at last year's Indy 500.

Tom Brady explains how the best entrepreneurs make things look simple
Tom Brady's post-football career has been as methodical as his two-minute drill, and arguably more lucrative. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has systematically built a business empire spanning wellness (TB12), apparel (Brady Brand), and media (Religion of Sports), among other things, along with ownership stakes in the Las Vegas Raiders and Birmingham City FC. And then, of course, there's the 10-year, $375 million deal he signed in 2024 to serve as lead NFL analyst for Fox Sports. Now he's adding another vertical to his portfolio: organic snacks. GOAT Gummies, Brady's latest venture, launched this week exclusively with instant-delivery company Gopuff. The organic, vegan gummies represent Brady's characteristic obsession with optimization—this time applied to what he calls 'better for you' indulgences.
