In, “The Wizard of Oz,” Dorothy had a heck of a time getting those ruby slippers to get home. For all that she endured, she was told that her ability to go home was inside her all the time. This past weekend, Martin Truex Jr. may have sung, “Weather and Cautions and Delays, Oh, My!”… but, like Dorothy, found that how to get where he wanted to go (in this place, Victory Lane) was deep inside himself. The commercials during the broadcast may have seemed to some to be as welcome as a green-faced witch; but they are the only way you also get to watch the rides on the yellow brick road. For those big and little people who like to know precisely how many ads there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
