TV News: Weekend USA Motorsports TV Viewers

FS1 earned 2.422 million TV viewers for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race at Martinsville won by Denny Hamlin, up 11% from last year’s event.  That event took place a week later and was up against the March Madness college basketball championship game.

The Cook Out 400 was the most-viewed show on U.S. cable this past Sunday and was pretty much the only game in town in the USA except for the MotoGP race at COTA that was tape delayed

FS1 got a miserable 123,000 TV viewers for the tape-delayed airing of Sunday’s MotoGP race COTA, up 50% from the same event last year (an even more miserable 82,000 TV Viewers) and the most-watched Grand Prix from the series on cable since 2021.
