NASCAR Nationwide Gets 1.1 Rating, IndyCar 0.35

Versus IndyCar ratings ARE suddenly YOUR BUSINESS, at least indirectly. Various sources (including IBJ The Score here) report the rating for the IndyCar race at Iowa Speedway was 0.35, up 33% from the previous year. Where these ratings come from, I don't know. IndyCar, maybe.

Meanwhile, ESNP PR kicked out this news release about their Natrionwide race ...

ESPN’s live telecast of the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis., on Saturday, June 25, earned a 1.2 household coverage rating (1.1 U.S. rating), averaging 1,621,000 viewers, according to the Nielsen Company.

Last year’s race aired on ESPN2 and earned a 1.1 household coverage rating.

Is this proof that road racing gets higher ratings then oval racing? ;)

Geez,Zach, don't start that oval/twistie thing. It is proof positive that NASCAR Nationwide gets higher ratings than IndyCar.
