The most awaited day that marks the beginning of the Daytona 500 race for NASCAR fans has arrived. But it seems that a lot of excitement of the loyal fans has been in vain because of a particular aspect of the broadcast. Looks like the fans are not happy with the telecast of the race.

Infuriated NASCAR fans took to Twitter to express their betrayed emotions. NASCAR on NBC  posted on Twitter, “@NASCAR IS BACK, BABY! The 65th #Daytona500 and 75th season are underway!” But the fans were not happy at all. They have been complaining about the number of commercials shown before the race and then during the race itself. The telecast did not reflect what NASCAR had promised and what the fans had been expecting.
