Commercial breakdown: 2024 The Great American Getaway 400 presented by VisitPA.com
For the first time since Fox was the broadcast team for the NASCAR Cup races, weather did not interrupt, and cause hours of delays. Fans who attended the race were able to get home in a normal post-race amount of time; and fans who watched from home got to eat dinner and relax without having one eye on the TV all evening. The commercials were still a part of things, of course. For those folks who like to know precisely how many there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
