Half of the fans leaving the Cup race at Martinville on Sunday were shaking their heads, lamenting having only seen five lead changes and four cautions during the whole race. The other half were quite satisfied they did not have to endure multiple caution laps and see the destruction of multiple cars. The race fans at home had all of that to ponder, as well as commercials to watch. 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.
