The Benefit 500 is a race that takes place in the Velocitronian capital city, Delta. It is an open race, unlike most Velocitronian races, meaning that anyone can enter, even offworlders. It has only one rule—whoever crosses the finish line first wins. The winner gets to ask the planet's leader for anything they want, although they can be refused.
Fiction
2005 IDW continuity
Blurr entered the race only minutes before it started, and was placed next to the less-than-subtly-named Racemaster. Override, Knock Out, and Moonracer were all watching from a private box. Blurr had a hard time dealing with the attacks of the other racers until Windblade, controlling the racetrack through Navitas, was able to throw obstacles into the path of his opponents and give him some boosts. He won, and appealed to Override and the watching Velocitronians to allow contact with Cybertron, as it was another planet they could race on. The Velocitronians burst into applause at this idea.

Notes
- While obviously highly stylized, the Benefit 500's course bears a more than passing resemblance to Bristol Motor Speedway.
