During pre-race analysis for Sunday’s Cup race at Kansas Motor Speedway, fans were told that tires, and windy conditions, may cause problems for the drivers. While those issues may have had some effect on things, the race only had three cautions, and the victory was attained by driver mettle and strategy. The broadcast to the fans at home was attained by sponsor love in the form of commercials. For those 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.
