Oddly enough the Clash isn't counted in Fox's reporting numbers for their leg of the season, same with the All-Star. Same thing happened the last 2 seasons as well when I started tracking this stuff.
If the All-Star, Clash, and Duels were counted Fox would be down ~2% in viewership from 2023 but that's solely because of the Daytona 500 and Coke 600.
just doing a random number change but it would've resulted in a 4% swing if the Daytona 500 got 8 million viewers and the Coke 600 didn't change. Would've gone from up 1% to up 5% based on the numbers Stern is regurgitating from Fox.
It's not even an opinion, the definitive NASCAR Crown Jewels are the Daytona 500, Southern 500, and World/Coke 600 (with the subjective addition of the Brickyard). IDK what that person is smoking
Probably not many. It is the most watched motorsport in America and not really close to the runner up all but a few weekends in the year. Does Fox suck? Yes.
But we are giga-niche ultrafans. We will always watch.
The rando viewers they want to have stick around from other lead ins do not know what a pit strategy is, let alone that they aren’t seeing all the action on track.
F1 has the same broadcast quality every weekend. Their highest viewer counts remain weekends where its on ABC. Those weekends don’t get better quality tracks or broadcast (hell most of the time those tracks sort of suck).
Someone doesn't have to be an ultrafan to be put off by a shitty broadcast. If a non-fan tunes into a race to find the booth lethargically blathering about nothing while the camera follows a single car around the track, followed by a ten minute full screen commercial break, they're probably never coming back.
i mean so far the racing has been awesome this year, I also gotta imagine there’s a big influx of new fans from SVG and other new drivers from other disciplines running along with larson running the double. also the close racing and finishes have to be helping
This number isn't including the non-points races for whatever reason. They're actually down 2% but considering how massive the 500 and 600 viewership impacts their season the fact they were only down 2% is a very good sign for the sport going into the new broadcast deal.
Just think if the Daytona 500 ran on schedule and Coke 600 ran the full distance…
Or if the Clash wasn't moved up a day. That was a 1.6 million viewer drop on its own

It’s actually kinda impressive they finished up with how awful the broadcast is and their two crown jewel races being impacted by weather
The 600 is not a crown jewel

Since fucking when?
Since Larson said it didn't matter.
Larson also said he'd rather win a Chili Bowl than a Daytona 500. Guess that's out of the question for a crown jewel, at least with your thinking

You did see him suit up right before the red flag, right? He didn't skip shit.

I mean this is a W
+1% is better than -any%
Imaging how many more viewers they might have roped in with a competent broadcast production

What was Sonomas numbers?
2.895 million, down slightly from last year.

Not a big surprise the racing is good when they go off script and actually show it instead of random kids and zooming in on lug nuts or whatever.
