NASCAR TV Ratings Are In for New Hampshire Cup Series Race
The TV ratings are in for NASCAR’s Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, with USA Network averaging 2 million viewers when excluding the rain delay.
NASCAR returned to New Hampshire Motor Speedway for a race that attracted approximately 2 million viewers on USA Network, despite a rain delay interrupting Sunday's Cup Series event. Excluding the rain delay, USA Network's race coverage averaged around 2 million viewers, but including the weather interruption, the overall average decreased to 1.793 million viewers.
This performance at New Hampshire Motor Speedway surpassed the recent Cup Series races at Iowa Speedway and Richmond Raceway. The Cup race at Iowa Speedway averaged 1.929 million viewers, and the one at Richmond Raceway drew 1.516 million viewers. These ratings indicate a strong television performance for USA Network as NASCAR prepares to head to Daytona International Speedway for the summer race at the 2.5-mile superspeedway.
Daytona brings a different racing style compared to New Hampshire, which could present new opportunities for NASCAR to build on its recent television audience growth.
