Commercial breakdown, driver focus, and links related to the 2009 Daytona 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 Invocation of the race at 3:20 PM, and stopped at the waving of the checkered flag at 6:48 PM (all times are EST). I did not keep records for the pre- and post-race coverage.
Fox 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.

Daryl Says:
Feb 17, 08:56 PMFOX has sunk to a new level.First they show stupid cartoons in the middle of a speed shot blocking the view and they say this is going to be a weekly series. Keep the cartoon (Digger) for Sat. mornings. They (FOX) has one of the most unprofessional broadcast teams in all of sports.
Dust off DW and Larry and put them in the attic.The Broadcast as a whole talks down to the fans like we are idiots and insults our intelligence multiple times now on a weekly basis.

What a joke.
The broadcast was like watching a cartoon.What idiot is calling the shots at Fox? I want to watch the race, not watch a cartoon and listen to some back woods MF sing about a gopher.
