Welcome to TV Thursday/ It Was Boring but It Had a Good Number/ Bring a Freaking Towel/ Sked
Welcome to TV Thursday
Where we deal with TV news regarding racing. I was hoping to save the USAC/ Versus news for today but I had to let the cat out of the bag one day early. Read that story below.
It Was Boring but It Had a Good Number
Autoclub 500 at Auto Club Speedway on Sunday evening was probably one of the most boring Cup races I have watched in some time.
Irregardless what I think it was still the highest rated sporting event on TV for the week drawing a 6.0/10 national household rating/share according to Nielsen Media Research and FOX PR.
That’s 10.2 million viewers.
Even though it drew good numbers which were better than previous years, it was up against the Academy Awards on ABC.
That show averaged a 20.6. Still, folks are watching.
This Weekend on Wind Tunnel
Dave Despain will have NHRA Funny Car Points Leader Ron Capps as their featured guest this Sunday at 9pm eastern on SPEED.
Bring a Freaking Towel
For many years drivers and crews have sprayed liquids in Victory Lane.
Note to camera folks who go to victory lane. Bring a towel.
Your vest/ credential will not cut it. I am sure “G” would love to give you a towel to use in “G” victory lane. Not bringing a towel is kind of like forgetting to bring a battery for your camera in Victory Lane.
A wet lens is bound to happen but preparation will overcome a damp situation.
