Despite the carnage Hurricane Helene brought to some states just east of Kansas, the skies over Kansas Speedway on Sunday were clear and blue, and an exciting race was held. There were blown tires and spins and amazing passes and desperate runs for the lead, and frustrated teammates and crushing agony when things just didn’t work out. For those watching at home, there were commercials, too. For the fans 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.
