    Thumbs down Kansas TV ratings

    UPDATE: The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs from Kansas earned a 1.7 rating and 2.75 million viewers on NBC last Sunday, flat in ratings and down a fraction of a percent in viewership from last year on NBCSN (1.7, 2.76M), and down 19% and 20% respectively from 2016 on NBC (2.1, 3.45M). Chase Elliott's win ranks as the lowest rated and least-watched Cup Series race on broadcast television since at least 2000. The previous lows were a 1.8 (two races) and 2.86 million (Charlotte last year).

    While the network can make some difference in viewership, the big reason is that NA$CAR is boring...

    I was a big fan, but haven't watched a boring race in the last two years. I would rather watch dirt track racing.

    NASCAR needs to change their rules. Let them race. Let drivers fight. More bumping and rubbing. Drivers need to learn that it's a race and anything goes to win. Dang go back to when real men raced.




    TEXAS has a balanced budget.

    Draining the Swamp is a tough job.

    NASCAR is as boring anymore as the NHRA. For the last few years no quarter mile, and all the rules in NASCAR have really dulled the sport. I know it is all in the interest of safety and so little kid gets traumatized when a driver crashes and dies a fiery death....

    So it is PC. Rename it to PCNASCAR. I haven't watched a race in a few years.
