Default NASCAR TV Ratings Declining

Appears NASCAR has it's challenges with TV viewing. Having only 2 out of 12 chase contenders for the Cup as possible season champs at the final race, and both from the same race team , probably did not help.

From USA Today:

NASCAR: Ford 400
Sunday, 3:45
3.8 (2.9 million)
ABC

The comparison: Down 12% from comparable coverage last year.

The spin on the spin: NASCAR finishes its Nextel Cup season likely to end up with national ratings down about 10% from last year and 20% from 2005 as it gets tiny ratings in big cities outside the South. Maybe NASCAR could add some New York City cabs to its fields.
