I love short track racing (Taylor's Version)

It was probably a typo because the way I understand it everyone hates the chase. Nice try though Andy.ESPN gets a 2.8 rating for Phoenix Chase race, up 21% from last year.

Well next week will definitely suck with all the Gordon fans that quit Nascar yesterday.

I hate it for determining a champion. I love it for the entertainment value!
oh...and the messageboard fodder it generates is pretty entertaining, too!
ALso Texas was up last week. Hmmmm where's @ToyYoda now? lolESPN gets a 2.8 rating for Phoenix Chase race, up 21% from last year.

Thats pretty cool though ratings up in the last 2 events... not sure if Im going to go ahead and attribute it to the chase yet... but all the headlines of the fights and drivers like JJ, Jr, and now Jeff Gordon (drivers even non fans would have heard of) out on contention and all the other excitement leading up to this point could be what has people tuning in... and I assume that (like with myself) once they watch a race, especially one like yesterdays,... they'll be hooked. Then once they pick a driver.. it's a done deal lolI'm right here.
As I said last week, I post the good ratings as well as the bad. I just didn't know they were available this quickly, usually takes a couple days. I guess good news travels faster than bad.
Okay, clearly someone has hacked Andy's account.NASCAR is in the entertainment business. They're doing a good job, because everyone's entertained. This has been the best ******* year in NASCAR in my lifetime!
I will say one thing in defense of the Gordon fans on here. A lot of people are trying to paint the picture that Gordon fans are bashing this chase format just because he got eliminated. That was pretty much the theme on the Sirius NASCAR Radio morning show today. However, at least on this forum, I know that a lot of the Gordon fans who are bashing the format today felt the same way months ago. It's not like you guys were all in with this format until yesterday and now all of a sudden it sucks.Jr fans havent been attacked on this forum like the Gordon fans have.
You're not allowed to be a Gordon fan here anymore. Say anything even remotely in disagreement with something else and your opinion is invalidated because you're a crybaby, sore loser, whiner, etc. even if it has nothing to do with Gordon.
I keep hearing what Hannibal on the A team would say. "I love it when a plan comes together." Nascar is doing a fine job of attracting new and old fans. They pulled a good move this year, compared to other motorsports there isn't anything that remotely compares to what is going on in Nascar. In the Tudor series, or F-1, not even close. Indy car was probably closest with their double points races and their ratings were up and healthy this year and good fun to watch. Probably see a lot more of these types of formats in the future in other series.
The manufactured drama brought in the sheep for 1 race.
1 race doesnt define a season's worth of ratings. Much like 1 race doesnt define a seasons worth of races
Im all for NASCAR getting better ratings, but not bc of this manufactured WWE drama.
Phoenix was much anticipated, everyone I talked to was expecting a real dogfight and tons of drama...................... there was no drama to speak of and the 4 car was so far above the others that there was no racing for the lead. It wasnt nearly the race I was expecting, chase races at phoenix never are IMO

NASCAR will saturate television marketing with Dale Earnhardt/Dale Jr. Daytona film for 2015 you can count on that.and more importantly at Daytona next year.
As long as the trend continues I guess that can be said. But..... we are NASCAR fans..... There's not much that we like. Even if it is something that turns out to be a good move for the sport, many will still never accept it.Thank you for the new Chase, Brian France.
It's only the highest rated Phoenix race in 5 years. Let's not get too excited here Andy.Rating adjusted up to a 3.1/5.09m viewers. Highest since 2009.
Thank you for the new Chase, Brian France.
The answer is none. They'll just tell you how they used to do it.How many Chase Haters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
I don't know either because they've never seen the light.
Sorry, a work in progress.
Nice!The answer is none. They'll just tell you how they used to do it.
@nateryan Nationwide rating up double digits for 2nd straight race. PHX: 1.2, averaging 1.8 million viewers. Nearly half-million more than '13
@nateryan The rating for previous week's Nationwide race at Texas was up 22% (despite being less than enthralling and vs. college football).
Things were different when we had incandescent bulbs, before all this energy saver crap.Nice!
