On Sunday, NASCAR managed to combine the lure of racing with the reverence for the military and held an exciting race on a naval base, giving new meaning to ‘off-the-beaten track.’ For the lucky fans who attended the occasion, and the fans watching from home, it was a new way to enjoy watching cars racing to the finish line. For those watching from their living rooms, some things remained the same, as in the commercials throughout the broadcast. For those folks 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.
