For the second time this season, overnight ratings for NASCAR on FOX slipped below a 4.0.
The Russ Friedman 400 drew a 3.7/7 overnight rating on FOX Saturday night, down 12% from a 4.2/8 last year, and the second-lowest overnight rating for a NASCAR race on FOX this season — ahead of only a record-low 3.3 overnight for the Subway Fresh Fit 500 two weeks ago.
So far this season, two Saturday night NASCAR races have averaged a 3.5 overnight rating on FOX, 31% lower than the 5.1 average for eight Sunday races.
The 3.7 overnight is the lowest for the Russ Friedman 400 since it moved to broadcast in ’07.
Amazingly, all ten NASCAR races on FOX have seen a double-digit decline in overnight ratings this season.
