This past Sunday, the NASCAR on Fox team brought us their last Cup Series broadcast of 2022. For many fans, it is surprising how quickly this segment of the season has run its course. For NASCAR fans watching the race from their easy chair, they may or may not appreciate the time devoted to commercials, but without them, there would be no broadcast at all. 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.
