NASCAR - Television Ratings Thread

3.31M for Cup at Richmond, 795k for Xfinity


Same Cup number as COTA.
 
It’s about that point in the season where NASCAR becomes pretty competition-resistant and the same base is watching each week no matter what, with some exceptions for the bigger events with more casual interest like Talladega, Chicago, Brickyard, etc. Especially with it being the inflection point where most races jump to cable.
 
Ratings were flat on Sunday.



Not bad news considering the race was on cable and was directly up against the Caitlin Clark experience on ABC.

In contrast the women's NCAA final was up 89% from 9.9 million viewers in 2023 and up 103% from 4.85 million viewers in 2022.
Can someone please offer Caitlin a ride in the Cup Series?????
 
Didn't you say you couldn't care less about basketball? Even after multiple attempts? LOL
The Caitlyn Effect is astonishing!!!

After watching a few of her games, I said that she turned me into a basketball fan.

The women's game is more enjoyable IMO. The pacing is better, and they play more basketball and less foulball.
 
Darlington on Mother’s Day has quickly become FS1’s top Cup draw each season

Cup - 2.632M (2.689M)

Xfinity - 782k

Indy GP - 875k (715k)
 
There is definitely some positive momentum regarding TV ratings. Looks like Cup could be on pace for its first substantial ratings boost y-o-y in 20 years
 
Obviously, the vast majority of the television viewing audience doesn’t realize Cup cars run on those girly, girly single lug wheels.
Hell, I'm still hung up on these wussies using sequential shifters. Don't get me started on power steering and fuel injection. AND PUT THE DAMN NUMBERS BACK!!!
 
This race is not going anywhere anytime soon.
Well, I don't know about that, but the weather won't be a factor in it being on the schedule. Politics or local dissatisfaction, maybe.

I love these armchair meteorologists. I'll take my chances on anywhere in the Midwest in July over Daytona, with the bubbling Atlantic on one side and the percolating Gulf on the other.

Adding a NASCAR race into the equation increases the rain chances exponentially.
