Ratings were flat on Sunday.
Not bad news considering the race was on cable and was directly up against the Caitlin Clark experience on ABC.

It’s about that point in the season where NASCAR becomes pretty competition-resistant and the same base is watching each week no matter what, with some exceptions for the bigger events with more casual interest like Talladega, Chicago, Brickyard, etc. Especially with it being the inflection point where most races jump to cable.

Didn't you say you couldn't care less about basketball? Even after multiple attempts? LOL

In contrast the women's NCAA final was up 89% from 9.9 million viewers in 2023 and up 103% from 4.85 million viewers in 2022.
Can someone please offer Caitlin a ride in the Cup Series?????

After watching a few of her games, I said that she turned me into a basketball fan.
The women's game is more enjoyable IMO. The pacing is better, and they play more basketball and less foulball.

Good day all around, NASCAR held up well despite the rain delay.

Cable TV is such a ratings killer.
Maybe but F1 got 3.1 million viewers on ESPN. I don’t ever recall an F1 race getting more viewers than NASCAR.

We rave about Darlington twice a year. As long as the racing holds up, it will continue to be a top draw.

There is definitely some positive momentum regarding TV ratings. Looks like Cup could be on pace for its first substantial ratings boost y-o-y in 20 years

Best cable audience since Pocono drew 2.8M on USA last year.

That’s Chicago at #1 and #2 for NBC over the past two-plus seasons.

But but but imagine if they'd started at 1 Eastern in Daytona!!!!!!!!!
Somebody tell me again how the network programmers don't know what they're doing. Dudes have statistical breakdowns out the wazoo.

Obviously, the vast majority of the television viewing audience doesn’t realize Cup cars run on those girly, girly single lug wheels.

Hell, I'm still hung up on these wussies using sequential shifters. Don't get me started on power steering and fuel injection. AND PUT THE DAMN NUMBERS BACK!!!

Well, I don't know about that, but the weather won't be a factor in it being on the schedule. Politics or local dissatisfaction, maybe.
I love these armchair meteorologists. I'll take my chances on anywhere in the Midwest in July over Daytona, with the bubbling Atlantic on one side and the percolating Gulf on the other.

Adding a NASCAR race into the equation increases the rain chances exponentially.
