NASCAR Atlanta, Lime Rock television ratings

The rain delay on Sunday night kind of makes this a moot exercise

The NASCAR Cup Series race scheduled for Sunday night but rain delayed into the early Monday morning hours at Atlanta Motor Speedway averaged 1.5 million viewers on TNT Sports.

For what it’s worth, TNT Sports told the Sports Business Journal that it was on pace for 2.4 million viewers before the rain delay that started halfway through the first half but required a resumption at Midnight. Ryan Blaney went on to emerge victorious in a thriller of a finish that also involved Christopher Bell, Bubba Wallace and Carson Hocevar.

The O’Reilly Series race that night before earned 1.011 million viewers for the double overtime victory for Justin Allgaier as aired by The CW Network. Some additional notes provided by the network.
