Commercial breakdown and links related to the 2018 Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 (Rain Delayed)

For those of you NASCAR fans that like stats and love to hate commercials, here is the breakdown for Sunday’s race.

I began recording the times at the singing of the Canadian Anthem at 4:05 PM, and stopped at the waving of the checkered flag at 7:17 PM (all times are EDT). I did not keep records for the pre- and post-race coverage.

NBCSN was the broadcast team for this event.

Please note that in addition to the commercials and promos listed below there is always a sponsor’s logo that changes throughout the race above the running order.

Throughout the breakdown, you can find links to sponsors, or special items-of-interest such as links to contests and movie sites.
