Along with the Gordon, Kenseth, Stewart, Biffle, Edwards and Danica fansI guess it wasn't the Olympics. Maybe Jr. fans found a different Sunday hobby.

And every other sporting event that was on for the weekend, NBA,NCAA, etc.....
I think it indicative of how people watch now. Firestick, Roku, FS1 app etc....Can you believe that in 2015 the LV race had 7.7 million viewers and this year had 4.7 million? Is that sort of thing normal or acceptable or does it even matter?
The NFL lost 10% of its viewers last year, Nascar 11%. My cable bill went up.

Its across all sportsYou'll be telling me that all the fans that used to show up at the track are now unaccounted for via streaming? NASCAR has had a decade of falling revenue at the tracks - 10 years of negative numbers at the track and the ratings on TV are cratering. Yep, everyone's watching via streaming services now.
Not at the rate of NASCAR and you forget, like most, that the NBA is growing.Its across all sports
Yet we outpoint the NBA in the ratings, oh and I like it so what others do doesnt concern me because there are enough of us watching to keep it here for a long, long , long time.Not at the rate of NASCAR and you forget, like most, that the NBA is growing.
Wow, we beat a golfing event by just a little bit. If that's the rally point we really do have some serious issues. Seriously, a golf tournament?
Dude!!
WGC event with Phil Mickelson winning in the playoff against Justin Thomas?!?! You must not follow golf! For NASCAR to outdraw THAT with a Vegas race is pretty darn impressive. It will be interesting to see how the Sunday race numbers are should Tiger continue to play himself back into contention.
The Masters vs Texas in a few weeks....
Ummm, the NBA final's games destroyed the NASCAR final races last year. And we are back to you and Brian France chatting up that everyone not in the stands and not watching on TV is watching NASCAR via streaming.Yet we outpoint the NBA in the ratings, oh and I like it so what others do doesnt concern me because there are enough of us watching to keep it here for a long, long , long time.
The 2008 Las Vegas race had 12.1 million viewers. That's a 61% drop in viewership in just one decade.Can you believe that in 2015 the LV race had 7.7 million viewers and this year had 4.7 million? Is that sort of thing normal or acceptable or does it even matter?
NASCAR is gonna be here for long , long, long time. Long after you are gone.Ummm, the NBA final's games destroyed the NASCAR final races last year. And we are back to you and Brian France chatting up that everyone not in the stands and not watching on TV is watching NASCAR via streaming.

If it is , it is. I was watching when it was a lot less people then they have now.I don't think I stated that it wouldn't. It just gonna be a lot smaller and look a lot different than it does now.

I had no idea the drop was that steep. The Daytona 500 would kill for 12.1 million fans these days.
18.1 MILLION VIEWERS WATCH DAYTONA 500 ON FOX

I think things will level off and it will continue to be a National Sport, I think its possible for more teams to come in provided the economy supports it and sponsors are available. Will the drivers and teams make millions like in the boom time of the sport, I doubt it, but I promise you the ones who can wheel it will be getting paid.No question that Nascar will be here for many years. What are your thoughts on the lower yearly ratings Nascar receives? Do you think lower ratings will lead to changes in the series such as less teams, money, races or will things will very similar to what they are today?

I agree that the best of the best will always get paid and I think cup will end up having a spec engine available which will help new teams.I think things will level off and it will continue to be a National Sport, I think its possible for more teams to come in provided the economy supports it and sponsors are available.

From what I have read if you get 50,000 streamers per race you are doing well.I wonder if there are any FOX Sports Go/NBC Live Extra stream numbers released?
#1 sport for the weekend seems very good!
I think the Major Manufactures will tolerate Specs in the mid majors, not so much in CUP. Thats already been given a big thumbs down.I agree that the best of the best will always get paid and I think cup will end up having a spec engine available which will help new teams.

Standing OvationI'm honestly trying not to even give a rip about ratings anymore. I've never been surveyed the first time. I don't think the powers that be have any idea how many folks are streaming. I remember when you had to listen to MRN to enjoy live coverage of a lot of events. NASCAR managed to crawl up out of that swamp into our living rooms. So, deathbed, the end, its all over, the fat lady is tuning up, or whatever, I'm still watching. All the news about this sport is negative. Why listen to it, if you still love stock car racing? As long as they're lining up 36 or 40 or 43 or whatever, I'm watching.

CUP in not a mid major, its Premier and they wont have spec enginesWell guess what, the CUP series gets worse ratings now than the xfinity series did 10 years ago. It's all the mid majors now. Something has to give.

You might wanna compare Xfinity numbers and CUP numbers, no comparison by a long shot.Yeah well you can give it whatever name you want, it gets mid major ratings. .
In the coming years I think we will see most everyone associated with Nascar continue work on aggressively reducing costs and some of the initiatives may be eye popping. Cutting costs will help mitigate lower ratings and an overall lack of popularity.
I would have never guessed that golf could siphon viewers from Nascar as I think of the fan bases as being almost incompatible. The way it seems for Nascar is that people will watch it if there isn't anything better on but if so they abandon ship.Tiger is in contention heading into this weekend at the Valspar. If he's in the Top 5 heading into Sunday I'll be very interested to see what type of ratings golf gets relative to the cup race. Next weekend is the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament which usually gets better ratings than the Elite 8 round (following week).
If the next broadcast deal pays Nascar less as many suspect it will they need to ruthlessly cut costs to ensure survival.They are gonna have to do so to survive. The gravy day times are over.

I think it crosses over my than you think. Interestingly, NASCAR and golf have both faced similar issues the last 5-10 years, dropped ratings, Nike leaving, courses closing etc. Plus, Tiger being in contention and his overall comeback has been a bit of a national/cultural story. It's setting up to be the story of the summer. Even more so than where will Lebron end up.
