It's National Hot Dog Day, and we're celebrating at IndyStar by looking back on what is, frankly, the most prominent hot dog-related event of 2025 so far: The inaugural Wienie 500.

Love's Travel Stops: In the Love's Connect App, you can get a free hot dog each day through Friday, July 18. Find the deal daily in the app; once you add it, scan the barcode at checkout to get a hot dog or roller grill item. (Offer good at select locations in 42 states.)

The Fried Pickle Dog exchanges a regular hot dog for a “zesty and crunchy fried pickle spear along with banana yellow peppers, mustard and fresh tomatoes,” while a Reuben Dog features “savory corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing.”
