Commercial breakdown: 2025 Shriners Children's 500
Today at 06:41 AM
The call to start the engines at Sunday‘s Cup race was given, with much gusto, by Grayson, a Shriner‘s Ambassador. This was an ideal way to get an exciting race started. Along with spins, lead changes, strategic tire game plans, and unappreciated penalties, there was a two-lap shootout to the finish. There were also commercials, of course. 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.
