During the Cup race on Sunday, Kevin Harvick was referred to as ‘the G.O.A.T. of Phoenix Raceway,‘ and ‘the king of the desert‘. As the laps wound down, that green Ford crept closer to the front, and it seemed Harvick would live up to those titles. As any NASCAR fans knows, however, there is nothing sure in racing, and the win was not to be. During race broadcasts, though, you can be sure of commercials. For those 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.
