Sunday Final Nationals: NASCAR Brickyard 400 Sets NBCSN Ratings Records

Sunday night belonged to ABC once more with its ‘Sunday Fun and Games’ lineup featuring “Celebrity Family Feud”, “The $100,000 Pyramid” and “Match Game”, topping all key figures.

In the late Sunday afternoon, NBCSN’s presentation of NASCAR Sprint Cup racing from Indianapolis Motor Speedway averaged 5.2 million viewers and delivered a 3.1 household rating, marking several consumption milestones, including NBCSN’s most-watched and highest-rated telecast on record.

Sunday’s “Brickyard 400” viewership grew +11% vs. the same event last year (4.7 million). Viewership peaked between 6:15-6:30 p.m. ET with 6.1 million viewers and a 3.6 household rating, as Kyle Busch took the checkered flag and became the first driver in NASCAR history to sweep both the Sprint Cup and XFINITY Series poles and victories in one weekend.

I would have thought some of the Olympics that NBCSN showed back in 2014 would have been their highest, so that is pretty impressive.
