Huh? What? a 1.2, .9 and .8 average a .8 ??? I guess the rumors in my industry are true - the Neilson people are idiots...OR...Mr PDog has a typo...

The 2011 average is actually 0.96666666666666666666666666666667. LAST year's average for three non-Indy races was 0.8, but they were different races (no Milwaukee or New Hampshire last year) which makes the comparison a little strained. I shorted them .16666666666666666666666666666667 in my haste to post. Apologies.

To be honest PDog, I think IndyCar needs a little bit of this to up the numbers:
