The county of Sonoma is largely known for its beautiful vineyards, and after Sunday’s Cup race you can bet a lot of California NASCAR fans are toasting Shane Van Gisbergen’s mastery of road courses. Thanks to TNT utilizing side-by-side ads during the race nine times, fans watching from home had the opportunity to enjoy the No. 88 Chevy tearing up the track while drinking wine, or, perhaps, Red Bulls, a bit more than if it was all traditional breakaway commercials. 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.
