During Sunday‘s Cup race in Texas, a few adjectives were used during the broadcast, including ‘sketchy‘, ‘edgy‘, and ‘hectic‘. Multiple cautions and lead changes proved the accuracy of those descriptions. On the sponsor side of things, Xfinity, Toyota, and Wendy‘s led the rest in appearances during the race. For those who like to know precisely how many sponsor ads and plugs there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week‘s breakdown.
