Thanks, Thin Lizzy, for the perfect song to hum following this weekend’s race. The NASCAR Cup Series hadn’t raced at Road America since girls wore poodle skirts, but did so on Sunday. The many NASCAR fans attending the race had great weather to enjoy, and a terrific race to watch. For those at home, they got to view all of that; and, of course, the commercials, too. For those who like to know precisely how many there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
