NASCAR fans attending Saturday night’s Cup race at Richmond Raceway were treated to fabulous weather and an exciting race. NASCAR was treated to a sell-out crowd for this race, and that is always good for business. Fans who watched the race from home got to see all the action, too, but had the comfort of a nearby kitchen and bathroom with no lines. Sponsors got to remind those watching at home about the great products they offer through commercial spots scattered through the broadcast. 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.
