The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series racing season began on Sunday evening. While the track was smaller than most, it was beautifully created, and the production team did their best to set the theme for an exciting and original race. There were, of course, commercials during the broadcast. For those who would like to know precisely how many there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
