IndyCar Texas TV Rating (Update)

UPDATE The IndyCar Series racing from Texas scored 431,000 viewers on NBCSN Saturday night, up 2% from last year (424K) and the largest audience of the season on cable (four telecasts) – still horrible no matter how you slice it).

Conclusion: All motorsports has lost the youth of this country

06/08/15 The Firestone 600 IndyCar race in Fort Worth on NBC Sports Network Saturday night drew a 0.37 rating. Worse than an infomercial as the NBCSN noose gets tighter around IndyCar's neck. However, the family likes getting that big check from NBCSN to help fund the Leader Circle Welfare program.
