Commercial breakdown: 2021 Dixie Vodka 400

On Sunday, the Cup race ran at Homestead-Miami Speedway. For those fans that have been experiencing the most awful weather, anything with the word ‘Miami’ in it would sound glorious to folks with pasty-white skin. The weather gods cooperated, thank goodness, and the race ran with nary a weather delay. There were commercials, but they didn’t sully a rain-free broadcast. For those who want to know how many ads there were, and other stats, please read on.
