The MRO children singing ‘The National Anthem‘ is truly a sweet way to start off a race at Bristol Motor Speedway. That was the case on Sunday, but it was probably the last sweet thing for the rest of the day. Once the race began, it was tire failures, spins, body damage, and desperation, with good and bad luck sprinkled randomly over the teams and drivers. For fans watching at home, it was all of that and commercials, too. For those fans who like to know precisely how many ads there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week‘s breakdown.
