The NASCAR Truck Series season opener from Daytona averaged a 0.53 rating and 990,000 viewers on FS1 Friday night, down 8% in ratings and 6% in viewership from last year (0.58, 1.06M) and the least-watched edition of the race since 2018 (936K). Actor Frankie Muniz of “Malcolm in the Middle” — now a racecar driver — finished tenth.
The multi-year low was a complete reversal from the prior night, when the Duel at Daytona was the most-watched since 2018.
