Couple of lasts thing to close the season;
Driver movement all over the place. Switching teams, moving up from Trucks to X-Men and X-Men to Cup. It will all be sorted by Daytona.
Phoenix TV ratings from Jayski;
Sunday’s telecast of the NASCAR Cup Series finale on NBC averaged a 1.87 Nielsen National rating and 3.063 million viewers. That was a solid increase over the 1.63/2.6m that watched this race last year when it served as the penultimate round, although down from a 2.24/3.7m for last year’s finale at Homestead (both races also on NBC).
The Xfinity Series finale at Phoenix on Saturday averaged a 0.59/980,000 viewers on cable network NBCSN.
The Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series finale posted year-on-year gains on both its Phoenix and Homestead equivalents. Running Friday night on Fox Sports 1, the telecast averaged a 0.29/493,000 viewers.
