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.

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.
