IRL Michigan TV Rating

UPDATE #2 The TV rating for the actual Michigan race, which was moved to ESPN2 and delayed, was a dreadful 0.2/0.6 share.

08/04/06 The final rating for ABC’s Sunday rainout coverage of the IRL Firestone Indy 400 was a 1.0/2 share, down from the overnight of 1.1/ 3 share.

07/31/06 ABC’s Sunday rainout coverage of the IRL Firestone Indy 400 was a 1.1/3 share (overnight), down 26.7% from a 1.5/3 share last year, when the full race aired. In other words the event got a 1.1 rating and there was no actual racing. Not bad for open wheel. We have no overnight rating for the actual tape-delayed race on ESPN2 from 12:15-2:45am.
