NBCs broadcast of the Tropicana 400 Winston Cup race from Chicagoland Speedway easily outdistanced all other sports events in the overnight ratings from Nielsen Media Research, according to the Sports Business Daily . The race drew a 4.9 rating and an 11 share to finish well ahead of the 3.6/10 that Fox drew for its Major League Baseball broadcast. The race will need a bump from smaller television markets, however, if its going to match last years final figures of 5.3/14 or 2001s 5.6/14.( Winston Cup Scene Daily Newsletter )(7-14-2003)
