NBC to Cut Full-Screen Ads During Green Flag at Daytona, Atlanta, Talladega Cup Races
On Wednesday morning, NBC Sports announced that it will do away with full-screen commercials during green flag action in this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona as well as the upcoming Cup races at Atlanta and Talladega.
The decision was made by NBC Sports to improve the viewing experience for NASCAR fans.
“We always strive to deliver the best broadcast for the NASCAR viewers at home,” said Jeff Behnke, NBC Sports’ vice president of motorsports production. “NBC Sports’ ‘NASCAR Nonstop’ gives the fans what they want for these pivotal races at Daytona, Atlanta and Talladega – live coverage of every green flag lap of superspeedway racing.”

However, after an appeal on Tuesday, Lapcevich’s win has been restored. But the driver will not receive the points or money associated with the win. The appeal was heard by David Hoots, Brandon Brown, and Kevin Powell.
