During the pre-race show for the Cup race at Kansas Speedway, a B2 Stealth Bomber carried out the flyover. The crowd reacted enthusiastically, as the mere sight of this engineering marvel is so cool you just have to look. Once the race began, Kyle Larson’s domination was also a marvel hard to look away from, and as he crossed the finish line the fans responded with great appreciation. The fans at home got to see all of that, as well as some sponsor appreciation in the form of commercials. For those who like to know precisely how many there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
