Commercial breakdown: 2025 Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart
Saturday night’s Cup race at the newly named Echo Park Speedway was the first broadcast of this season for TNT. This followed Amazon Prime’s five-race run, wherein they relied heavily on side-by-side ads, instead of traditional break-away commercials. TNT’s approach to balancing commercials and race coverage reverted back to regular commercial breaks, and only utilized the side-by-side format a few times. For those fans who would like to know precisely how things shook out, here is this week’s breakdown.
