Imagine if the 500 was on NBC alongside the Olympics this weekend.

I dont have to imagine. We saw it with the 2024 Summer Games. NASCAR took the weekend off, remember?

There’s A LOT more going on during the Summer Olympics. That’s an apples/oranges comparison.

2006 (alongside Torino) was the highest rated flag-to-flag NASCAR broadcast ever.

Of course it doesn’t matter now. NBC is out, and given that FOX gets everything, I don’t blame them for being out.

NASCAR was a lot more popular in 2006 than 2026.

Having the Daytona 500 would’ve enhanced their “Legendary February” campaign.

Granted I’m of the opinion that the Daytona 500 should be held in early March.
