On Sunday in Martinsville, Pastor Tim Hunt included the famous Martinsville hot dogs in his invocation, and many fans partook of the culinary delights. The skies threatened rain but it never fell, and there were drivers who threatened William Byron but he ultimately prevailed. It was a great race from the green flag to the grandfather clock in Victory Lane. Fans watching from home got to see all of that, and the obligatory commercials as well. 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.
