Commercial breakdown: 2021 Toyota/SaveMart 350

The golden California sun served up a sunny day for a NASCAR race on Sunday. Guy Fieri, famous restauranteur, was at the track, and served up some humor and star power. Kyle Larson, however, didn’t serve anything, as he consumed the race, from the pole position to each stage, and then won it. For the consumers (otherwise known as fans) who watched the race, who like to know precisely how many commercials there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
