Commercial breakdown: 2024 Quaker State 400 available at Walmart

Many NASCAR fans welcomed the sighting of Bobby Labonte, however brief it was, during the pre-race festivities for Sunday’s Cup race. Walmart executives may have also enjoyed the brief sighting of the large Walmart sign that blew onto the track during the race, bringing out a debris caution. Every sponsor sighting is good for business, after all. For those NASCAR fans who would like to know precisely how many sponsor sightings in the form of commercials there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
