Commercial breakdown, driver focus, and links related to the 3M Performance 400 presented by Bondo
Posted by Cheryl Walker under Racing ArticleFor those of you NASCAR fans that like stats and love to hate commercials, or wonder how often your driver was focused on, here is the breakdown for Sunday’s race.
I began recording the times at the Invocation of the race at 2:01 PM, and stopped at the waving of the checkered flag at 5:10 PM (all times are EST). I did not keep records for the pre- and post-race coverage.
ESPN was the broadcaster for this event.
Please note that in addition to the commercials and promos listed below there is always a sponsor’s logo that changes throughout the race in the corner of the screen beside the race ticker. Additionally, ESPN frequently runs a sports ticker at the bottom of the screen, showing such things as Olympic scores.
Throughout the breakdown, you can find links to sponsors, or special items-of-interest such as links to contests and movie sites. At the very bottom you can check how many times selected drivers were focused on during the race.

Thanks. Debris cautions without seeing the debris seemed to be the norm, Sunday.
