Comparing TV ratings is like forecasting the weather. I don't have any idea or neither do you. In other words it isn't worth mentioning as far as I am concerned. Did you read this tweet? The year before there wasn't the competition from stick and ball and this year there is? Go figure
who says, you?
In this case if you look at the tweet above, there was also the hallowed stick an ball competing for viewers. This ratings business is about as accurate in predicting as the weather is in spring.
The start of last year’s race, on a Saturday night, was also delayed by weather.
I don't care if there was a hurricane, it averaged 4 million viewers on a Saturday night. So tell me how come Saturday races are such a problem again?

lol, ratings geeks, they are all the same.NASCAR shifting focus to Sunday night’s instead of Saturday night’s, details here
The 2023 schedule was unveiled two months ago, but on Wednesday, NASCAR unveiled the start times as well as TV networks to go with those dates. The main thing that stood out to me is the fact that …
You’re getting your races mixed up now.
yeah WRONG lol. Is that tweet above wrong or what? It says Saturday 2022.
The tweet was comparing this year's Martinsville race to last year's Martinsville race, which was a week earlier and on a Saturday night (and rain delayed).
Dover is a ? All of the so called experts hype the hot concrete that usually turn the track into a single lane parade. Maybe a cooler track would open up another lane?
The best Dover race in the last 10 years was on a 50 degree day. That was the Larson and Kenseth finish in 2016. It was so cold but that race made up for it and more
The bigger issue isn't so much that Chase is the face of the sport, it's that NOBODY else is drawing anywhere close to as much interest as he is. Even at the absolute peek of their insane popularity, the Earnhardt's ALWAYS had other drivers that attracted significant attention. The drop off after Chase is STEEP, and that's not because he is THAT popular.
I agree in a way that I find it odd Kyle Larson hasn’t taken off with the casuals. Maybe his time is coming if he has another dominant year this year and then runs really well in next years Indy 500, the race fans know about Larson.... but he doesn’t move the needle it seems to bring in the new viewers or attract the ones that left. Hopefully that will change, folks are missing out.
I would go with Gangsta Rap concerts during every yellow
I get this one, which confuses my what he does that everyone votes him MPD
Cause of his Dad. No different than Junior who also is the King of borring being related to Dale Sr.
You can't even compare those 2. In his day Jr did tons of stuff with Bud. I can't think of one non-racing thing chase has done.
Honestly it makes me feel like the retirement of guys like Gordon, Johnson, Stewart and Jr were the biggest reason we have half the crowds and ratings we did 15 years ago. Obviously there’s more to it than that but those 4 drivers were such superstars and they were all around at the same time.
