Franklin Field on the campus of UPenn…the oldest college football stadium still in operation, but probably more well-known for the Penn Relays track & field event each year. That additional space occupied by the track around the field could afford NASCAR a chance to throw down a race course like...

More people watched Mexico and Nashville on Prime than did Bristol on FS1. The total viewership difference between the two platforms has been marginal at best, with the added benefit that new viewers are being introduced to NASCAR.

An interesting reflection of where cable TV is now. The Stanley Cup Final just wrapped up and had the exact same matchup (Edmonton/Florida) as last year. Last year’s series was on ABC, this year’s was on TNT and truTV. The 2024 series averaged 4.2M and this year’s 2.5M - a 40% drop with...

The FOX deal has certainly been a boon to IndyCar’s viewership so far. But they also transitioned from a model where NBC was putting an increasing number of races on USA and even Peacock after initially having a balance of the races on NBC proper. Cable TV is and has been on the decline for...

One car shy of a capacity grid this weekend after the Iron Danes withdrew following Michelle Gatting’s broken foot suffered at Le Mans. Not surprisingly, most GTP/GTD Pro teams opted for two-driver lineups with the Nurburgring 24 also taking place this weekend.

P21 to P2 for the #6 car.

Indiana earns the East’s spot in the Commissioner’s Cup final by virtue of New York’s win over Atlanta as well. Nice.

The officials in this league are less than useless. This is what happens when you don’t make the proper calls and set the tone when it needs to be set. Indiana got the payback they deserved.

She did her damn job.

The officials have completely lost control.

It’s always the teams that actively suck the most pulling this stuff. You never see this with Minnesota or New York. Mabrey is always an instigator as well, this was ridiculous though.

How on earth did Mabrey not get ejected for this? And my lukewarm take is that Jacy Sheldon is CC’s biggest ‘true’ rival at the moment.

My boring take is that all three sanctioning bodies and their respective broadcasting partners should be, and likely are, pretty reasonably satisfied with those figures.

IndyCar, FOX, and the promoter took a big swing with this one since an event can’t really be a commercial success without ticket sales like NASCAR can. The crowd certainly seemed pretty respectable for being moved to a Sunday night on short notice. Hopefully it worked out for the track and other...

The stewards’ report indicated that the rear wing deflection measured in at 52mm, while the regulations allow a maximum rear wing deflection of 15mm. They also stated that the car achieved its best top speed on lap 380 of 387. Hard not to believe a performance advantage was gained, whether it...

SVG missed the cut as the field was set after taking the top 32 in points after Nashville. Seeding is best on best finish across Michigan-Pocono, nothing to do with points or anything like that.

Gateway needs to be a night race 100% of the time. So much better under the lights. I wonder if FOX can’t move things around a bit more and make one of the Iowa races or Milwaukee a night race.

That was some pretty wild fuel drama. Lots of interesting results - Rasmussen came all the way back for a podium, Daly and JHR 6th, VeeKay and DCR 7th, Shwartzman with PREMA’s first top 10. Kirkwood might end up making this an actual title fight. That Indy penalty was a pretty big blow though.
