Indy 500 Brings the Heat on Carb Day

All eyes are on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway today as Carb Day festivities set the stage for the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500. Fans are flooding the infield and grandstands for one of the most fun-filled traditions of the Month of May.

On tap: the fan-favorite Pit Stop Challenge presented by Oscar Mayer, where elite race crews show off their speed and precision in high-stakes pit lane action. The event is part skill, part show—and always a crowd pleaser.

And for a lighter twist, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is revving up for the highly anticipated Wienie 500, a mascot race that brings smiles and a bit of whimsy to the Brickyard. It’s all part of a day packed with music, interaction, and one last practice session as the field prepares for Sunday’s green flag.

With a sold-out crowd expected and the FOX broadcast team in town for their Indy 500 debut, Carb Day offers a high-octane appetizer before “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” takes center stage. Our broadcast of the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 begins at 11 on our stations, and online, Sunday!
