That's relative, an every year given.
Nah, more playoff races. Round of 40 starts right after Bristol dirt.
It seemed to me that the gerbils were more unbearable this year than last. They even had the pit crews doing it.
The round of 40 should be 36 races long
And I should lose 30 pounds. That won't happen either but I have a slightly better chance.
Still double what it was getting at DaytonaThe Clash at the Coliseum was down on FOX to kick off the season, from 4.283M last year to 3.647M this past weekend. Heats/LCQs held up better, dropping from 2.564M to 2.37M.
The feature did go up against the Grammy Awards in full, which it didn’t last year, although there was some Winter Olympics overlap in 2022.

You have a point there. On the survey, they asked a lot of questions about where the Clash could be held, and what type of track (I picked dirt
)
True, although the last few instances of the Clash there were held on FS1 and not directly comparable. The last Daytona Clash on FOX was in 2016.
Are there a lot of potential NASCAR viewers who would watch the Grammys instead of a race? I would imagine the winter olympics are a bigger rival.
This event wasn't about attracting NASCAR viewers. It was to draw casual fans, preferably younger ones, the kind of viewers who might well consider the two programs to be a toss-up.
Also “The Last of Us” on HBO. That show is HUGE, especially with gamers, and there is a cross appeal there.The Clash at the Coliseum was down on FOX to kick off the season, from 4.283M last year to 3.647M this past weekend. Heats/LCQs held up better, dropping from 2.564M to 2.37M.

Not yet, although qualifying was up +6% and Duels +5%. There’s probably a slight holiday delay as Friday figures usually come out Monday and haven’t yet.
A few things here.
Conventional wisdom is that Fox is coming back but IDK if I’d bet the farm on that. These lawsuits Fox is facing are devastating and that’s not hyperbole.
The voting machine lawsuits?
Yes.
I generally agree there are some external factors at play, but the exclusive negotiating window for FOX and NBC just opened (Feb. 1) and runs through April. They have time before it goes to open market.
Investors can and will sue. I believe 90% of their revenue comes from cable fees and that has been rumored that Fox was trying to jack up the price a lot so that is in the wind not to mention many advertisers are leaving. I wonder if Fox will be in the running for any Nascar. This is all new, but Murdock admitting in court he knew the big lie was a lie and there wasn't any voting machine problems, Dominion is going to win, it's just a matter of how much.
Agreed. I was just pointing out comparing damages sought to cash on hand isn't an indicator of much.
That's a tough one to leave all that money on the table lol. Cash up front?
Might be worth settling for less from someone with a more stable situation. Fortunately, it isn't my problem!
Less bidders for the Nascar programming though could mean less money unless there is a bidding war.
