Talladega TV ratings

Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern reports that FOX got 4.303 million viewer for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.

That’s down 5% from last year.

AND: Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race from Talladega, won by Tyler Reddick of Jordan’s 23XI team, averaged a 2.4 rating and 4.31 million viewers on FOX — down 7% in ratings and 5% in viewership from last year (2.6, 4.55M) and just the second of nine races this season to decline. (That excludes the rain-postponed Daytona 500.)

Talladega still ranks among the top races this season, trailing only the Daytona 500, Atlanta and Las Vegas, and still delivered one of the top sports audiences of the weekend.

In other action from Talladega, the Xfinity Series race there drew a 0.9 and 1.60 million on FOX Saturday afternoon — up a tick and 12% respectively from last year’s 0.8 and 1.31 million. The preceding ARCA series race on FS1 had a 0.23 (-32%) and 413,000 (-21%).
