NASCAR Talladega TV rating plummets
The Sprint Cup race Sunday from Talladega Superspeedway earned a 3.1, down 24 percent from a year ago, when the race was shown on ABC. Talladega was always one of NASCAR's highest rated races. Still it was better than other Chase races that averaged a 2.5 rating. The Chase is NASCAR's 'playoff system' so to see it flounder so badly for three straight years now must send chills down the spines of the 'suits' in Daytona.
