Questions remain following the NASCAR All-Star race on Sunday. Does Blake Shelton have his full voice following his concert, and his thunderous driver introductions? How much trouble is Michael Waltrip in for asking about having his ex-wife shot from a cannon? How forcefully did Ryan Blaney’s breath leave his body when he was informed he actually didn’t win the race yet (but thankfully he did two laps later)? We may never those answers. But fans are able to know precisely how many commercials ran during the race broadcast. For those who like to know precisely how many there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
