Posted by Cheryl Walker under Racing Article
For those of you NASCAR fans that like stats and love to hate commercials, here is the breakdown for Saturday’s race.
I began recording the times at the Invocation of the race at 7:50 PM, stopped for a rain delay at 9:45 PM; resumed at 10:37 PM and stopped at the waving of the checkered flag at 11:50 PM (all times are EST). I did not keep records for the pre- and post-race coverage.
SPEED (and the Fox team on SPEED) was the broadcast team for this event.
Please note that in addition to the commercials and promos listed below there is always a sponsor’s logo that changes throughout the race near the race ticker.
Throughout the breakdown, you can find links to sponsors, or special items-of-interest such as links to contests and movie sites.
