Commercial breakdown: 2022 Hollywood Casino 400 presented by Barstool Sportsbook

There are many variations of the old saying, “If wishes were fishes,” dealing with fishes, horses, turnips, and more. Following Sunday’s Cup race in Kansas, there may be scads more ‘old/new’ sayings, from various drivers (i.e. “If wishes were collisions I’d have a playoff spot,” or “If wishes were sponsors I would know my next boss.”) Fans who were watching the race either had their wishes fulfilled or dashed, with time during the commercials to ponder things. For those folks who would like to know precisely how many ads there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
