Rounding out the top five fastest dachshunds were Reggie Racer at 2.60 seconds (Corona, Calif.), Presley (Placentia, Calif.), and Alvin (San Diego), who were both clocked at 2.63 seconds.

The winner from the Del Mar regional final will advance to the national championship set for Monday, Dec. 30 prior to the start of the Port of San Diego Big Bay Balloon Parade. Eight dogs from around the country will compete in the event finale that is shown to a national television audience.

Despite all odds, the dog surprises the boy's father (Jason London) when it places in the state trials of the illustrious Wiener Dog Nationals Race. The family pulls all of its resources to advance to the next round only to face strong opposition from the reigning champion dog, Princess and her owner Ms. Merryweather (Morgan Fairchild). Meanwhile, Melanie (Alicia Witt), one of the racing judges, is banned from the races by the head Judge (Bryan Batt) when she tries to help the family prove that Ms. Merryweather is cheating. Relying only on the dog's skill and her young owner's passion for the race, little Shelly and her new family must face the challenge of advancing through the cut throat world of the nation's greatest wiener dog race, Wienerschnitzel's "Wiener Dog Nationals."

MILA ONE OF 16 DOGS TO QUALIFY FOR THE WIENER NATIONALS

On Saturday, August 20, 2011 Preliminary Races were run at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium. Local Ocean Beach resident Mila Miesner, out of a field of 400+ Dachshunds, qualified along with 16 other dachshunds to compete at The Del Mar Race Track to see who the fastest wiener is in San Diego.

Races ran much of the morning starting at 9am and going on until all doxies had at least 2 attempts at a top time. It was fun to see the doxies race.  some shot out straight as an arrow while others took this time to ham it up for the crowd.

When not racing, or if you were a spectator just needing a break from the cuteness on the race field, you could check out some local rescue groups, shops and radio stations. With none other than the Wienerschnitizal truck selling hot dogs. There was also a large grass area where many of the doxies just got together and socialized.

Participants received fun dachshund t-shirts and tickets to see the top 16 run at Del Mar with the horses.

So if you want to come out to the Del Mar Race track and have some fun with the doxies join us on On Labor Day September 5, where the fastest 16 dachshunds (Who qualified August 20), will compete in the San Diego Finals of the Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals.

Three races will take place on the track in front of the Winners Circle. Two semifinal races will occur after horse races 3 & 5 with the finals occurring after horse race 7.

The Del Mar winner advances to the National final which determines the fastest wiener in the nation.

Don't miss these adorable, free-spirited, low-to-the-ground athletes on their quest for stardom!
