NBCSN earned a 1.26 rating and 2.113 million viewers for Sunday’s weather-impacted NASCAR Cup race in Loudon, down 4% from 2020 (2.2 million) and down 24.5% 2019 (2.8 million).

44,000 fans attended the race Sunday per the Boston Globe, down from a record 88,000 several years ago. But given the photo above with many seats empty, and with grandstand capacity now down to 40,000, the real attendance was probably closer to 30,000.
