NASCAR Watkins Glen TV Rating

NASCAR Sprint Cup Centurion Boats at the Glen race on ESPN last Sunday garnered a 3.6 final rating with 4,828,000 people tuned in. This is down 12.2% from last year's 4.1 final rating on ESPN and down 31 from the 2006 rating on NBC. ESPN certainly is not doing NASCAR any favors with regard to TV ratings as compared to NBC which refused to pay NASCAR's ransom prices and walked away from re-bidding on the TV deal.
