Wendy's teams up with NASCAR driver Noah Gragson to 'bring home the bacon' and give fans FREE Baconator hamburgers* all weekend long delivered with DoorDash

DUBLIN, Ohio, June 26, 2023 // PRNewswire // - To drive home that the Wendy's® Baconator® is first place-worthy, Wendy's is once again teaming up with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB and NASCAR driver Noah Gragson to bring home the bacon at the first-ever NASCAR Chicago Street Race Weekend. Gragson's No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro will be transformed into the boldest and beefiest car on the track – nicknamed the "The Baconator" after the fan-favorite and iconic Wendy's Baconator. Paying homage to Wendy's signature half-pound of fresh beef**, American cheese, and crispy Applewood smoked bacon, fans can expect bacon, bacon and more bacon zooming around the first-of-its-kind track and throughout the city from July 1 - 2.

"At the Daytona 500 I drove 'The BEEF,' at Talladega I was behind the wheel of 'The BIGGIE,' and I can't wait to rep 'The Baconator' this weekend as my team and I try to bring home the bacon...literally," said Gragson. "I've had so much fun with Wendy's this year, from starting a little beef at Daytona, to going biggie at Talladega, and I can't wait to continue to show up for fans in Chicago this weekend."

To kick off the first-ever NASCAR Chicago Street Race Weekend, Wendy's is inviting fans to two official meet & greets with Noah Gragson at Chicago-area Wendy's restaurants! This is NASCAR fans' chance to meet the man behind "The Baconator" wheel, grab an autograph and enjoy swag and sweet surprises ahead of the big race.
