This was the last race of the 2008 season. It has been a pleasure to keep track of these statistics for all of the NASCAR fans out there, and I look forward to doing the same for 2009. Thanks to all of the fans and media professionals who have contacted me in one form or another to tell me how much they appreciate the work involved.

Please look for my annual report of the season coming soon. Among other items of interest I break down how many times each driver was on-screen during the races, as well as how many commercials were shown.

For 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 3:45 PM, and stopped at the waving of the checkered flag at 7:09 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.
