ABC’s broadcast of Sunday’s Checker O’Reilly Auto Parts 500(k) at Phoenix International Raceway earned an overnight Nielsen Media Research rating of 3.4 with a 6 share, the same rating as in 2007. This only covers up to when ABC stopped airing the race at 7:28pm/et and showed the remainder of the race on ESPN2 [in the eastern and central time zone]. No word what the ESPN2 numbers were.
