The Bristol Night Race drew an average of 1.536 million viewers for a .79 rating on USA Network on Saturday night.

This is down from 1.868 million and a .98 on the same weekend last year. However, this also makes NASCAR the second most watched sport of the weekend behind the combined NFL and NCAA football slate.

Meanwhile, the Xfinity Series drew 767,000 viewers on the CW Network on Friday night.

The Truck Series, racing on a Thursday night, drew 205,000 viewers, which isn’t that far removed from the 262,000 it drew on a Saturday afternoon at Darlington. The previous handful of races hit the 250,000 range in the summer as well.
