Six Oscar-Meyer Wienermobiles faced off over two laps at the Brickyard in an Indianapolis 500 undercard race and the the result was a surprisingly competitive affair. Think of it as the race car version of the Milwaukee Brewers' Sausage Race. There were plenty of twists and turns and lead changes to keep everyone guessing who would come out on top. In the end, Slaw Dog overtook Chicago Dog just a few yards from the finish line to pull off a stunning comeback and win the Borg-Wiener Trophy— though credit to Chicago Dog for holding a late lead with all those extra toppings weighing it down. But what stood out to race fans is how much action there was. Considering Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix won't feature nearly as many attempts by drivers to overtake each other, the iconic F1 race quickly found itself becoming a punch line once again. Obviously, the takeaway here is that we need to see the Wienermobiles take on the streets of Monte Carlo next. It's only fair that Monaco gets a chance to fight back.
