There is an old saying, “Nothing is forever.” Early on in Sunday‘s NASCAR race, Ryan Blaney dropped from near the front to mid-pack, but ended up winning the race anyway. Some precipitation tried to horn in on things, but it didn‘t last but for a few laps. During the race, Coca-Cola informed the public they now have a ‘new‘ Coke Zero Sugar. Maybe nothing stays the same forever, but, at least for the present, we can count on there being commercials during the races. 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.
