NASCAR suffered debilitating TV ratings on NBCSN this past weekend as it begins to feel the same pain IndyCar has felt for 11 years on NBCSN.

NASCAR has seen TV ratings drop on NBCSN in previous years but this year was particularly brutal.

Of course the race was run on a Thursday night, rather than the weekend.
