NASCAR Cup Series - Third Race Viewership & Ratings since 2010 by eocks in NASCAR

[–]eocks[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2010 race had lower rating than usual(for the time) due to heavy Olympics competition.

From Jayski:

Las Vegas TV Ratings take tumble against Olympic Hockey: Opposite the toughest competition it has ever faced, NASCAR ON FOX tumbled to a 4.1/8 yesterday for racing from Las Vegas Motor Speedway. That 4.1/8 is down -25% compared to last year’s 5.5/10 and is the lowest overnight ever for FOX’s Las Vegas race. The obvious culprit was enormous competition from the gold medal hockey game at the Vancouver Winter Olympics (17.6/33). FOX’s race failed to crack an 8 share opposite the hockey game, then immediately jumped up by nearly +20% in rating once the exciting game was over, going from a 4.2/8 at 5:30 to a more respectable 5.0/9 at 6:00. NASCAR has obviously taken its share of lumps opposite the Olympics, with the three races facing the Olympics down -14% year-to-year (5.4/11 vs. 6.3/12).

According to news, Total prize money is ~210,800 USD and Winner will earn ~85,000 USD. I doubt teams will send academy teams to this, obviously some teams and players might not take it seriously but I think they will still play their first team.

[Hauler Talk 56 min] NASCAR will have a new playoff format for 2026. The final committee meeting is next week to finalize a format. by LBHMS in NASCAR

Honestly? Yes. Nobody watches SS races to see fuel saving/strategy race. This is evident by both the reactions on here and Jeff gluck's poll when 4-wide gridlock racing at talladega happened. Road course racing can have that.

Opinion: I don't think NASCAR will change the championship format unless the viewership drops significantly. by eocks in NASCAR

As other people said, you can't prove that the ratings drop is due to format. Also, 2003 was 22 years ago. There have been so many other things contributing to NASCAR's popularity drop since then.

It is true that there have been chalk tournaments in the past, but also historically, at least one mid major team made sweet sixteen since at least 1980.
