TV Times - Sprint Cup TV Ratings For Pocono Up 27%
by Lou Modestino ~ June 17th, 2008 @ 10:11 amTurner Sports hit the track that Sunday with the first of it’s six 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Summer Series races on Turner Network Television (TNT) and unveiled Race Buddy, NASCAR.COM’s live online companion to the network’s televised coverage, with both platforms delivering strong early results. TNT’s coverage of the Pocono 500 earned a 3.9 US rating, up 27 percent over last year’s coverage on the network. NASCAR.COM’s RaceBuddy shined in its debut, garnering 712,000 live streams to NASCAR’s official site during the race.
(editor’s note: maybe it’s because no one can afford to go anywhere anymore, and they’re all just sitting at home watching the races. You can surely tell that the attendance is down, except for that Nationwide race at Kentucky that sold out (7 years in a row))
