Commercial breakdown: 2026 DuraMAX Texas Grand Prix powered by RelaDyne
Some observations from Sunday’s Cup race in Texas: It is fun to watch our racing warriors turn left and right, and squeeze their cars into too-small spaces around too-angular curves; it is always such a relief to hear the announcers say that while there was a spin, there is no caution; and it must be stated that Tyler Reddick’s performance was hotter than the inside of AJ Allmendinger’s cool suit. Fans at home got to see this exciting race, as well as the commercials that make the races possible. For those fans who like to know precisely how many there were, and how much time they took during the broadcast, here is this week’s breakdown.
