On Sunday, fresh tires were a strategy, and one million greenbacks were an incentive for Christopher Bell to pull off an All-Star win. For NASCAR fans watching from home, it was the commercials that helped bring the race to their TV sets, as well as a chance to run to the fridge for the beer that was advertised (specifically Busch Light Beer, Coors Light, and Miller Lite). 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.
