Start Daytona 500

TV News: Top 144 USA Motorsports TV Audiences in 2024

As expected, the NASCAR Cup Series claimed the majority of the most watched motorsports TV events in the USA in 2024, but their numbers have shrunk considerable from 5 and 10 years ago.

The Daytona 500 just edged out the 2024 Indy 500 whereas in the past it was always significantly higher. However, the Daytona 500 was rain delayed in 2024.

NASCAR races are in white, IndyCar in light blue, F1 in black, etc.  as color-coded by nascarman_rr on twitter

Reminder – these are USA only viewership numbers.  F1 averages 70 million viewers per race globally.
