same article is on racer.com, which also mentions the earlier 1st rnd. live programming from englishtown had 567k viewers.
sunday main show nhra with a .96 and nascar pocono with a 2.0 rating.......great job nhra tv production crew and staff.....keep the cameras on the female drivers, they all seem to interview very well; and tell angell to keep bitching at what's his face HD rider; it's
probably really good for ratings......shows lately seem to have a very good balance of technical info, driver profiles, close
racing, and useless fluff.......and never miss an opportunity to put the mic in front of ant; the guy just exudes optimism.
he can sell the entire sport all by himself.

Very true! He is a good face for the sport.

It will be even bigger if they would stop putting coverage on FS2 as a result of not pre-empting other programming....I only get FS1 and cable is expensive enough without adding a channel package I would never use

It was Alexis' F bombs!!

I wonder how Neilson got those ratings with All of the delays and the ping ponging between networks this weekend? Did they take the 2 and add them up or use a multiplier to figure this one out?

I know! As soon as they announced that I thought, "<expletive deleted>! I'm going to miss the finals again."

NASCAR fans also dig Drag Racing.......that is the answer to it all!

So my question would be...why?

No they are just too drunk to change the channel. LOL

We don't get any FS1 or FS2 in OZ!

last couple of years and first half of this year tv nielsen ratings were posted on racer.com. after indy this year, which posted
sunday ratings but not mondays, nhra was mentioned by racer.com twice in ratings articles as 'not available'. those two races
were maple grove and vegas 2. no mention whatsoever of st. louis and texas......finally results were posted from the
pomona finals. for the weekend of 11/11&12, 2017......

nascar phoenix: 2.24
nascar xfinity: 1.0
f1 brazil: .33
nhra pomona: .20 336,00 viewers. live finals on FS1. up from .16 from 2016, also live finals on FS1.
and the same (335,00 viewers) as the final nhra broadcast on espn, tape delayed in 2015.

what could the ratings and the news coverage have been if the Finals were on FOX instead of FS....with all the Champions being crowned on live TV?

 

[mgty3whlr]

Pull a NFL game off of CBS, NBC and swap it with NHRA and see what the ratings would be. There are many that have basic cable that don't provide FS1 or FS2.

 

[Jack]

Lower than F1 Brazil? That's not so good

I was surprised it wasn't. Probably scheduling but it certainly should have been.
