Commercial breakdown: 2025 Cook Out 400

03/31/2025 06:20 AM

Following Saturday‘s turbulent Xfinity Series race, fans may have been expecting more of the same for Sunday‘s Cup race. Prior to the green flag, even Mike Joy cautioned, "Get ready for 400 laps of mayhem." Instead, compared to many other short track races, there were no massive pile ups, flying fists, or extended red flags. The skies looked scary a few times, but no precipitation fell. Denny Hamlin conquered the track and won, despite other names being mentioned as conceivable victors. The only consistency was the commercials that accompanied the broadcast, as without those sponsors there would be no races. For those fans 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.
