What is the nickname of the winner's replica trophy?

The nickname of the Indianapolis 500 winner’s replica trophy is the “Baby Borg.”

Its official name is the BorgWarner Championship Driver’s Trophy, and it is a miniature replica of the famous Borg-Warner Trophy presented at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The full-size trophy is awarded at the track and carries sculpted faces representing Indianapolis 500 winners; each champion also receives a personal replica.

The Baby Borg is not merely a generic souvenir. It includes a sterling-silver likeness of the winning driver’s face mounted on the miniature trophy. BorgWarner typically presents it to the champion at a later ceremony, often held away from the speedway in the following winter.

Readers sometimes confuse the nickname with the names of other replicas or assume it refers to the enormous original trophy. “Baby Borg” specifically means the driver’s keepsake-sized version. The Borg-Warner Trophy itself was first presented in 1936, when Louis Meyer became the first winner to receive it.
