Everyone has heard of the ‘Lincoln-Kennedy Coincidences,‘ a list of eerie parallels between those two famous US Presidents. On Sunday, at the ‘Buschy McBush Race 400,‘ Kyle Busch was the victor, and racing pundits everywhere were sharing their chuckles with their readers at the funniness of that. Most certainly, Kevin Harvick, a driver with Busch Beer as one of his main sponsors, found little humor in that particular fact. But he may take comfort that his sponsor was seen in commercials during the race five times. For those who like to know precisely how many other companies were represented, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week‘s breakdown.
