Commercial breakdown, driver focus, and links related to the Checker O’Reilly 500
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 moment-of-silence for our nation’s veterans at 3:45 PM, and stopped at the waving of the checkered flag at 7:55 PM (all times are EST). I did not keep records for the pre- and post-race coverage.
ABC 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.
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.

Nov 13, 01:58 AMThanks, Cheryl. My driver is in the chase, and finished 9th, but was mid-pack in the number of times focused on.

Thank you for breaking the race down be east coast and west coast. I do not get ESPN2. I didnt get to see the last 37 laps of the race. Then to add insult to injury, WTAE didnt show America’s Funniest Home Videos. They went to local news. I am getting sick and tired of the way the networks, and yes, NASCAR itself have been treating the fans lately.
