Sunday marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11, one of America‘s darkest days. Television and internet resonated with ‘We Will Not Forget‘ in a myriad of ways. However, for many folks, a part of them wanted to try to forget, or to at least get away from the horrible images of planes and fires and crying people for just a while. NASCAR fans indulged in watching a race at Richmond, and managed to be happy for Martin Truex Jr., the winner. There were also, of course, commercials. 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.
