Here's some video of the race, along with reaction from some local fans. One day into his sausage-racing career, the Chorizo has already been accused by a fan of being drunk on margaritas, and by a newscaster of being drunk on Tequila. Thankfully, they stopped short of accusing the Chorizo of eating too much Taco Bell before the race. Despite the club's intentions, I'm still not sure that this the Chorizo and his sombrero are good things for Milwaukee's Latino community.
And if you're looking to break down the Chorizo's performance and technique, here's more footage of the actual race, shot by a fan inside the stadium. The Chorizo certainly didn't lack for fan support.

They spend such an effort trying to win over the Hispanic population. They should add a kosher sausage to try and bring more Jews into the park.
I'm glad the Brewers' brass wants to make Miller Park a welcoming environment for Mexican-Americans. I just think there might be a better way than offering up stale and cliche stereotypical caricatures of Mexicans.
I wish my claim to fame in an interview could be "Cheered Chorizo".
"COME ON CHORIZO!" isn't quite up there with "RUN YOU STUPID FUCKING DINOSAUR!", but it's close. Oh yes, it's very close.
Oh, and as someone who's commenter name is hispanic, I am pseudo-offended.
I'm totally getting a Cerveceros shirt.
I wonder if they paid the chorizo $2 an hour.
Just saying he probably wasnt as motivated as the other sausages if that was the case.
If you let the second video play all the way through, something sweet happens. The little sausage doll that the people have gets zoomed in on and it resembles a pair of boobies. I found it quite amusing.
Hello, my name is Russ Kirkpatrick, and I hate my job.
Seriously, though, anytime those sausages are brought up, I always look up the Randall Simon-knocking-over-a-sausage video. I believe if we could channel that video through some kind of wonder-prism, we could cure AIDS and world hunger. And the Oakland Raiders.
If the Chorizo had the epitestosterone/testosterone ratio that floyd landis or justin gatlin have, we'd instead be discussing a new Miller Park Milestone. I don't want a large farva, I want a god damn liter of cola.
if you look at the little timestamp on the screen during the news report, "New Sausage Debuts" was either the top story or the second story of the night. Milwaukee, you need another serial killer. Seriously.
Fuck the Cerveceros shirt, I want Perfecto Rivera's name.
Expect the Chorizo to kick it into high gear if the sausage from the Immigration Department joins the race.
When is the Hebrew National gonna be allowed to participate?
Protege, I cannot find a video that works of the Randall Simon incident. This is the last time I will beg someone on Deadspin to help me -- can you send a link my way? And thanks, Will, for following up on the chorizo with actual race footage. You're doing important work. I mean that.
I was watching the game with my wife (FoxSportNetOhio) and we agreed that if perhaps they had given him a wall to jump over first, just to get him warmed up, the Chorizo might have kicked all their tasty asses. And I mean that in a totally mouth watering way.
Only three weeks till the Premiership starts...
Insert sausage/Carl Monday joke here.
"Insert Sausage" - if I had a dollar....
In breaking news, Isiah Thomas just sent the Knicks' next 6 first round draft picks plus $10m in cash to the Brewers for the rights to Chorizo.
