I'd love to think that was because fans knew they were in for a good race. Sadly, I doubt that was the reason.

probably again next week to see if Tony's racing or talking.Tuned in to hear more about the Stewart-Ward incident most likely.
No doubt the tragedy played a part in earning more viewers, but better this weekend than next. This race piqued the interest of a good number of new viewers - certainly more than Michigan or most other tracks would have.@PPistone

Been a lot of changes, a lot of the nopers still remember Sr. talking about how he hated road courses and son followed in his footsteps saying the same thing. But when Ambrose showed up and some of the younger guys who also knew how to road race along with the current guys who weren't bad like Gordon, it has been fish or cut bait time every since. The new chase format has built it into a perfect storm. I know the Brian haters won't give credit where due, I have a hard time believing it isn't an accident myself, but whatever, the new car and the new chase is working pretty good so far IMO.Damnit, you got me excited that road racing was catching on among NASCAR fans then dashed that hope.
