I watched the entire Epping event on Watch ESPN via Computer (as I always do). Don't know how/if that's counted.
Meantime, I tried to find the 24 Hour LeMans race (such an iconic event) and it did not show on my Comcast cable.
Ford (which returns to LeMans next year) better get their media "stuff" together.
Let these ratings be a warning to all the folks who want NHRA to leave ESPN. IndyCar on NBCSN drew 1/3 the viewers, the iconic 24 Hours of LeMans that Jim Head would rather attend than the event at Epping, drew 1/4 the viewers on FS1, 1/8 the viewers on FS2. These numbers matter to teams, the sponsors and NHRA, and there is a penalty to being buried on deep cable.
To be fair, it took someone with Indiana Jones' skills to figure out where the Le Mans broadcast was being shown at any given time...
but yes, ESPN has far better reach than any of the other sports networks, if they would just start scheduling live events for a reasonable amount of time things would be much better.
