A bit about the history The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is Oscar Mayer's hot dog on wheels − a 27-foot-long hot dog-shaped bus used to advertise the brand. Today, six Wienermobiles travel throughout six different regions of the country. The Wienermobile made its first appearance in 1936 but it looked a bit different than it does today. A 13-foot-long metal hog dog on wheels was the first iteration of the Wienermobile. The vehicle featured an open cockpit, so the driver was seen sticking out of the top of the hot dog, according to Oscar Mayer. By 1940, a glass enclosure was added to better protect the driver. In 1952, after taking a hiatus during World War II, five 22-foot-long Wienermobiles began traveling throughout the country, per Oscar Mayer. They were the first to have a sound system and sunroof. The Wienermobile continued to adapt over the years and today's fleet has remained the same since about 2004, according to Oscar Mayer. The vehicle is made of custom fiberglass and contains a V-8, 6.0 liter engine. As for the interior, each Wienermobile features a hog dog-shaped dashboard, six mustard and ketchup seats, a 52-inch flat screen television, gull-wing doors with retractable steps, a removable roof, blue sky ceilings and a wiener jingle horn.

Spots for the Run for the Roses are earned by gaining points through a series of Kentucky Derby prep races that began last September. The post-position draw for the Kentucky Derby is set for Saturday, April 26. Post time for the Kentucky Derby is set for 6:57 p.m. on Saturday, May 3. Grande will enter the Kentucky Derby off a second-place finish in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial on April 5 at Aqueduct. He currently ranks 16th on the Kentucky Derby points leaderboard with 50.

What they're saying: 'I thought he ran super,' Pletcher said after the Wood. 'He didn't break real well. He got shuffled around a little bit going into the first turn. (Jockey Dylan Davis) said he kind of had to check off heels, which forced him to go really wide. He advanced nicely down the backside while out in the middle of the track. He still got hung out pretty wide on the far turn and I think compared to the ground saved that the winner had, it was a very creditable effort.' Last May, NBC Sports announced a partnership with Churchill Downs to present the Kentucky Derby on NBC and Peacock through 2032. The extension includes multiplatform rights to the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks and Derby and Oaks Day programming, which will be presented on NBC, Peacock, USA Network and additional NBCU platforms.
