Oscar Meyer outdraws Sonsio at IMS


And presumably Thar weren’t no chili Dogs entered…

 

Although No Fenders Offical’ photographer Carpets’ alerted me to this riveting news. Something sounded corny about wanting to be an Oscar Meyer Wiener…

 

Last year’s inaugural Wienie 500 drew a paltry 85k viewership on Fox sports App. But this year’s second annual Wienie 500 featuring six identical Oscar Meyer Wienermobiles television audience outdrew the Sonsio Grand Prix.

 

The two lap, five mile event held on Carb Day saw 781,000 viewers tune-in on FOX TV, vs. only 656,000 viewers for the Sonsio Grand Prix. FOX’s lowest IndyCar TV audience to date

 

Hmm? Perhaps Indy Cars Month ‘O May’s kickoff classic’s race’s viewership was so paltry since it’s during Mums Day weekend? With somebody I’m calling “The Surgeon”, aka Alex Palou wasn’t even on the podium, finishing a lowly fifth! Arse-sumably His second worst finish this year after Gateway?

 

As perhaps Palou should switch from fried chicken to a hot dog next time He wins a race? Since His mesmerizing win percentage has dropped to only 11 wins in 25 starts following Gateway, Sheesh!

 

And don’t know if its just CoInky-densethat the New York Dog won this year’s Wienie 500 or good omen for those New York Knicks…

 

As the Fans loved the race so much, that FOX aired it again after the Mid-Ohio Indy NXT Race-1.

 

And with All of the lightning around and the three hours delay. Was that Gilligan in the Seattle Dog-mobile? Hope they brought enough wieners for everybody seeking shelter during the storm…
