To get the engines fired at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, Brent Musburger, noted sportscaster and current host of a sports gambling site, gave the call. To give all the fans a throwback thrill, Mark Martin rode around the speedway in a Valvoline paint scheme. Then, during the race, heated words and a few muscular pushes—some in the form of race cars, and one in particular in the form of real muscles—were shared. There were lots of interesting things for fans’ eyes to behold on this day. There were commercials, too. For those folks who like to know precisely how many ads there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
