What genius goes to commercial with 2 laps to go?

It happened here too. I'm pretty sure this is the failure of the local affiliate because there was a commercial for my local news during the break, as if I'm going to watch it after that. My local ABC affiliate is garbage anyway so I could see them screwing up like that.

I just did a bit of looking around on the Internet and I'd guess we must live in the same area because it was only the Memphis affiliate who had the issue.

your local affiliate
the last commercial break was with 32 left and came back with 25 left
and no commercials until after victory lap /burnout

Your local affiliate apparently sucks.

Must have been a mistake by your local affiliate, as that didn't happen for me.

Didn't happen here.

its not about the race its about the commercials that is what make the money

Didn't happen to me! So, I don't know!

must have been a local, the only time I've seen it, is if there is a yellow flag out.
