Last week, NASCAR fans were treated to a race in bright sunshine, and with few cautions. After several prior races being affected by weather and plodding cautions, it was a welcome change. To many fans’ great pleasure, the same scenario occurred on Sunday in the splendorous surroundings of Schuyler County, New York. However, it is always the same scenario regarding having commercials during the race broadcast. For those 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.
