Many NASCAR fans might not view Denny Hamlin as their favorite driver, but, on Sunday at Kansas Speedway, they could hardly deny his skills behind the wheel. Even the loss of the No. 11 Toyota’s power steering could not deter him. While he was not victorious, his stature as a preeminent NASCAR driver cannot be denied. Many NASCAR fans view commercials in a less-than-favorable light, as well; but realize without them there would be no watching races from home. For those fans who would like to know precisely how many ads there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
