During Sunday’s Cup race in Austin, it was reported that Kyle Busch had stated in an interview that he would like for his kids to see him as a winner. As the last laps of the race wore down, it seemed he would get his wish; but fate intervened again, and Busch had to settle for a fifth-place finish. There were other interventions in the race as well, in the form of commercials. For those fans who like to know precisely how many there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
