Didn't Mike Joy say no more commercials for the rest of the race?
EDIT: I remember thinking there are too many laps remaining for there to be no more commercials. I was right.
Same. I work at the airport.
The other day, I managed to trade away the last two hours of my shift today with a co-worker... before they moved the start time an hour earlier. I missed the start.
I'd imagine sponsors and advertisers want as many eyes as possible.
Advertisers are willing to spend big $$$ on super bowl commercials, even though viewers can watch it for free.
