A capacity crowd watched an exciting inaugural race at World Wide Technology Raceway on Sunday. All the elements of a captivating race occurred: daring passes at high speeds, unexpected mechanical breakdowns, drivers held in contempt for their on-track maneuvers, heroic dashes for the lead, and paint-scraping side-banging desperate launches for victory. The folks at home watching the race had all that to watch, and commercials, too. 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.
