According to this from Fox Sports: http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/3410732 The highest rating ever for a NASCAR race was a 10.9. Contrast that to this from ESPN: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2005/news/story?id=2206044 The lowest rating ever for a World Series was an 11.1. If the highest-rated Daytona 500 gets worse ratings than the lowest-rated World Series, how can anyone say NASCAR is the second-most-popular sport by TV ratings?
- Just for sake of information, the 2006 Daytona 500 had a final rating of 11.6 Doctorindy 22:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- The World Series may have a high rating than the Daytona 500, but individual races score higher in the ratings than individual, regular season MLB games. Mustang6172 02:35, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
