Good point. A lot of people on social media said the reason ratings slipped was because Chase couldn’t race.

It's spellbinding, this ratings and TV stuff, right up there with watching paint dry.

Perhaps the most shocking part of the Sunday ratings is NASCAR having more 18-49 viewers than the Caitlin Clark gameXfinity - 1.027M (1.133M)

Race fans have only one nationally televised race; there's no other concurrent race to split the audience. Clark was competing with multiple other college and pro basketball ball games on regional networks.

Huge difference between 1pm and 4pm on a Sunday in the ratings world.

Massive bump in ratings. That Atlanta finish is going to be great momentum for the sport. Vegas' race was fantastic, too.

I noticed this a few years ago, the sport seems to have regained that cool vibe. Have to admit, the newest car looks sweet, sounds badass and races hard. A symmetrical car seems to be the answer on every style of track but the short ones
NASCAR has had a great beginning to the year and hopefully the momentum continues. For anyone interested in demographics here are some numbers from selected groups for the Las Vegas race.
18-49 847k viewers
18-34 259k viewers
25-54 1.2 million viewers.

And I got called an idiot when I said Fox Sports would have a blockbuster Sunday between the Caitlin Clark effect and the race. Both events were gonna draw casual viewers.
Literally the two biggest sporting events of the weekend were back to back.

Don’t underestimate that Netflix series.
I think Prime and WB Discovery are gonna turn out some great content to supplement coverage too.

I guess that was another discussion; the only use of the word 'idiot' I find in the last three pages was yours. I freely admit to questioning the potential carry over (and high ratings for both don't necessarily indicate the audience for the game stayed for the race), but I don't recall anyone calling you names over it.

11% increased if you compared to the same weekend of last year.

That's about the same for the bump in attendance. I think it will be even higher next year for the spring race. Good stuff.

And The Players was a close tournament, with a potential 3-way playoff.

Eh, Golf Channel almost always carries Sunday's final rounds on Monday. It's a nice option now that I've been able to put that annoying 'work' thing in the rear view mirror.

808k for Trucks, from 1.06M last year. I think being moved up several weeks from last year gave them a lot more competition in the Saturday night window than last year, so otherwise a good number still.

Saturday (3/16) sports ratings: Champ Week, NBA, TPC, NWSL and more
College basketball was dominant, as expected, on the Saturday of Championship Week. Plus, numbers for the NBA, golf, NWSL and more.

Sunday (3/17) sports ratings: Selection Show, NASCAR, TPC, NBA, tennis and more
NCAA Selection Sunday was of course dominated by the Selection Show, while NASCAR again took the top spot among actual games themselves.
