The hits just keep on coming

The double digit TV ratings drop continues unabated even with Dale Jr. in the announce booth. NBCSN can't get a good TV rating if its life depended on it.

Even the grandstands were over 50% empty

08/13/18 Like a gift from an enemy that keeps on giving, NBCSN earned a 1.62 overnight rating for yesterday's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Consumers Energy 400 at Michigan, down 17.3% from a 1.96 for last year's race.

The race was up against the PGA championship in St. Louis, but NASCAR fans won't watch golf when a race is on.
