Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
He's the master of going faster. -George Harrison
That can't be...we were told that her 15 minutes were over by some on these forums...
We're told a lot of things by those same people & rarely are their observations accurate.Originally Posted by hdolan
At least the weather will be FANTASTIC, which it NEVER was for ANY of IndyCar's late April/early May races there.
Makes you wonder if God Himself isn't trying to tell us something...
Then I guess its all those Cole Whitt fans that are tuning in now
As soon as she moves up to the Sunday Series the Saturday ratings will drop an equal amount and the Sunday ratings will go up an equal amount.
Maybe even a little less as she wont be the Shiniest of the Shiny New Things by then
For the 4 races they have gone up or for the 2 races they have gone down?

Her 15 minutes were up in the Indy Car world.
She's got about 5 minutes left in the NASCAR Nationwide world.
Then when she moves up to the Cup world, she'll get another 15 minutes there.
After the stock car experiment ends, maybe she'll come back to the Indy Car world and see if she can rekindle another 15 minutes.
She wants a family eventually does she not? Maybe she retires well before 40?
Just throwing that out there
Gackmath at it's finest
Preached safety and warned of death at Daytona this year and then drove like the Grim Reaper for three hours - Robin Miller talking about Tony Stewart
Yep.
If she is the sole reason (which some of the "enlightened" around here think) ratings went up for 4 races, then what happened for the 2 races that ratings didn't move?
Did people forget she was in those 2 Busch Series contests? Or is her power and fandom only measured when its for the positive?
No, she has said she doesn't. Or it isn't real high on her priority list.
She might "retire" but starting a family isn't likely to be a reason.
If she's a positive ratings bump then it's clear that Brain France needs her in the Cup series rigtht about now & the next of her 10 races can't come fast enough...
Kansas ratings from Jayski of course
Kansas Overnight TV Ratings: NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing on Fox posted a 3.7/9 on Sunday for the STP 400 from Kansas Speedway. Though that's off -20% from last year's 4.6/11 for the Talladega 400 which aired on the comparable weekend, it's off just one-tenth from last year's Kansas race which aired later in the season, and when the nationals are released, it's expected to rank as the top-rated event of the weekend. Through eight races, NASCAR Sprint Cup Racing on FOX is averaging a 4.5/9, off -8% from last year's 4.9/11.(4-23-2012)
I'd rather have 10% of the world interested in the ICS than 50% of US that NASCAR currently has
And there were ... *wink-wink* 75,000 *wink-wink*in attendance.
Pretty good for a track that claims a capacity of 74,000
3 weeks, he can wait
Speaking of Darlington, the overnight's for the races there on Fox since they started airing Nascar in 2001, with 2005 being the first night race: http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2011...fox-overnight/
And...
This marks the seventh of nine NASCAR telecasts on FOX this season to have a decline in overnight ratings.
Aloha,,,
I ways thought that she may be running on duel voltage,,,
a little AC/DC,,, but that's for me...
Big
Yes,,, Yes,,, Tony,,,
Your Grandfather was a friend of Roger Penske,,,
Your Grandfather did business with Roger Penske,,, but
Your Grandfather never trusted Roger Penske,,,
And if they keep Micheal on the air, for me, it's sure to go
further down hill... What a Boob, for some reason, he just
turns my stomach... I just got to the point of stomaching
DW and Rusty... Then they add him, can't wait until ESPN,
ABC, and TNT take over...
I Never Understood what Dale ever saw in the guy, but he
like'd Micheal... Maybe that was before all the lie's...
Big
Take About AC/DC,,, oh Micheal don't raise you hand quite,
so quick...
He is atrocious... and DW is as well. The entire Fox broadcast is just horrible. Everything about it from the too tight camera shots, to the on-air personalities.
Overnight ratings flat compared to last year
Per Jayski
Overnight TV Ratings for Richmond: NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing on FOX averaged a 3.4/6 on Saturday night for the race from Richmond International Raceway. That's flat with last year's performance of a 3.4/7 for the same race. Through nine races, NASCAR Sprint Cup Racing on FOX is averaging a 4.4/9 in the meters, off -6% from last year's 4.7/10. See TV Ratings from all the 2012 races as well as the 4 year comparison chart on the 2012 TV Ratings page.(4-30-2012)
Yes flat but in the context of the usual arguments that get brought up. Sports ratings are DOWN across the board is what people say when the ratings are down. So not going down goes against that trend. And in any case remember this, there's still a positive digit in front of the decimal point which any OW series would love to be able to see.
"You can't arrest those guys, they're folk heroes"
"They're criminals"
"Well most folk heroes started out as criminals"
And more on the Cup rating woes from RIR per SMW:
And this thread has nothing to do with AOWR, it's about the Cup Series, which is seeing some serious ratings issues leading up to their next tv contract.The 3.4 overnight is tied as the second-lowest ever for NASCAR on FOX, ahead of only the 2009 Subway Fresh Fit 500 from Phoenix (3.3).
In addition, the 3.4 is tied as the lowest for the spring race from Richmond since it moved to FOX in 2007.
Your correct I'd love to have even a 1.5 for ratings for our series. But as Mopars pointed out this isn't really about AOW ratings comparison.
The networks several years ago didn't pay NASCAR all that money for 3.4 ratings. They were paid on the belief they would continue to produce high 4's and low 5's. See below:
http://www.jayski.com/pages/tvratings2006.htm
Its going to be real interesting to see how the TV contracts go. Don't get me wrong there's still value there but nearly what was sold to the networks 7-8 years ago.
In spite of the doom and gloom in this thread I assume Talladega will be run this Sunday...with a large crowd in attendance...of course, I could be wrong...
Talladega will get lots of eyeballls and lots of butts in the seats
There might finally be another Big One again so lots of the NASCAR fans that have been screaming all season for more yellows
(AKA carnage)
will be glued to the TV this week
Maybe they will even get treated to a stock car taking 100 feet of catch fence down.
Boogity boogity boogity
Do you have a point...
I was agreeing with you
Just checked the schedule and Howard is right that talladega is this Sunday.

Must be why howard wasn't sure if you had a point or not.
