Commercial breakdown: 2021 Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race

A warm and stormy front went through Bristol on Saturday evening, and it didn’t even rain. Coincidentally, there was quite a frosty chill radiating between Kevin Harvick and Chase Elliott, but no snow fell. Once the two of them disappeared in that hauler, most race fans guessed it wasn’t to share a Subway sandwich. Subway shared their ads during the race broadcast, as did other great sponsors. 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.
