Yes, the streaming era is taking its toll on racing and my favorite , baseball. Guess I miss being able to watch cubs and braves with no strings attached. And races as well.Darlington was down in ratings (big race, lost to golf) and the coke 600 was down from last year (ran on monday) and 2022 (ran on sunday).
Looking at the season, most races were a decrease.
Now theyre closing down racehub and Dale Jr isnt broadcasting for NBC… thats gonna hurt ratings even more.
Im curious to see how streaming ratings are. I think its gonna be a huge decrease. Most Nascar fans dont stream on Amazon. My dad doesnt even know what the hell amazon streaming is. He isnt gonna be able to watch that, and a lot of Nascar fans are older guys that arent gonna get Amazon just to stream Nascar races.
I do think this is the time for race fans to go to races live. Easy to get tickets, maybe lower prices, and lower crowds. I know some of you, and I as well, are frustrated with where its been going, but I also got frustrated with packed houses and high prices. This may be the time to get in some fun and go see a race you haven’t seen live before. Or get back to your favorite track and party on. Kind of like stocks, buy low and sell high!
