Coca-Cola 600 TV Ratings
The Coca-Cola 600 was victimized by a rainout on Sunday and multiple rain-delays on Monday that ultimately forced the race to be called after just 227 of the scheduled 400 laps. Last year's Coke 600 drew a 4.4/9 when run as scheduled on Sunday night (-25%). This year's Coca-Cola 600 will not be included in FOX's season average, which therefore remains a 4.6/10, down -13% compared to last year's 5.3/11. FOX's rating held up remarkably well during the four Coca-Cola 600 rain delays on Sunday and Monday. The four rain-impacted segments averaged a 2.9/7 over more than five hours of non-race programming. Overall, the non-race segments rated just -12% lower than the race segments (2.9/7 vs. 3.3/8)
