NASCAR on TV this week

Overnight NASCAR Auto Club Ratings Decline 13 Percent

NASCAR’s overnight TV ratings were down for the fifth consecutive week on Sunday for the Auto Club 400.

According to Sports Media Watch, the Auto Club Speedway event scored a 3.5 rating.

This is down 13 percent from the 4.0 rating the previous two years scored. It marks the lowest rating for the race since the rain-shortened event in 2012, which drew a 3.4 rating.

The event faced competition from round 2 games of the NCAA Tournament. However, the tournament also saw a drop in ratings as its numbers were down by double digits.

When NASCAR returns at Martinsville Speedway on April 3 after the first off-week of the year, FOX Sports 1 will have its first of seven Sprint Cup Series broadcasts this season. This will mark the second year the channel has carried regular season races.
