After about 20 minutes of commercials we would see 90 seconds of racing.

I missed this weeks race, but I generally like TNT's coverage. Now I don't park myself on the chair for every race, and even if I do, there is always something I need ge up to do during the race, so I never really get the feel of how much is not covered by any of the networks.

Amen Jamo. Most adults have other things on their minds besides commercials. Most people get up and walk around, answer the phone, yata yata. We don't have to be entertained 24/7.

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Or is that site on your favorites bar? BTW, it takes about 10 seconds to look up that info on Jayski, hardly missing out on a big chunk of life.

Here is something to think about. The race was 2 hours and 44 minutes long as to which we were bored to death by 56 minutes worth of commercials...that is right, we had to endure more than a 1/3 of this race to commercials. So we only got to watch 1 hour and 48 minutes worth of racing...now how does that balance out in the grand scheme of things? It doesn't in my book.

I know 20 laps in they were already taking their second commercial break.
I for one never understood why they need take commercial breaks during a NASCAR race. Everything they do on a race telecast is sponsored. The ticker sponsored by KFC or Pizza Hut or whoever (I think it's diff everytime it rolls around). Then in a race like yesterdays with Denny Hamlin dominating pretty much the entire race, his car and FED EX were front and center for at least an hour during the race. Although Farmers Insurance commercial was aired during every single break, they got more advertising time in the Time Khane was leading on the track. So to me commercials during NASCAR seem pointless.
