Commercial breakdown: 2026 America 250 Florida Duels at Daytona
On Thursday evening, the line up for the Great American Race was finalized at Daytona International Speedway. The weather was good, the races were entertaining, and the A-Post Flaps we learned about during pre-race festivities did a fine job keeping the cars grounded. The sponsors made their pitches to the fans in the form of commercials, of course. For those 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.
