and the World 600

This race, at Road America, looks like it could be a great race. The track has a lot of straight away, with good road course turns.

I'm excited!!

.@CBS earned 1.38 million viewers for its third SRX event this past weekend at Eldora, per preliminary numbers from @TVRatingsGuide, its best yet by these figures.

.@NASCAR today is formally announcing the expansion of its relationship with @iRacing, which goes from being a licensee to now the official simulation partner of the sanctioning body.

On top of esports, the crux of the deal is around iRacing helping NASCAR design race tracks. https://t.co/tNVYgNmWIR

@PoconoRaceway ratings on NBCSN:

Race No. 1 on Saturday: 0.90 rating and 1.448 million viewers (Last year: 1.63 rating and 2.570 million on @FoxTV).

Race No. 2 on Sunday: 1.49 rating and 2.446 million viewers (Last year: 1.62 rating and 2.660 million on @FS1). https://t.co/HONVi1no9u

Sports Media Watch

SRX on CBS edged NASCAR's Cup Series race in A18-49 Saturday (0.23 to 0.22). NASCAR had slightly more viewers (1.45M to 1.37M).

SRX in primetime on OTA, NASCAR in daytime on cable. Plus, NASCAR much bigger on Sunday. Still, NASCAR is NASCAR and SRX is three weeks old.

You don't expect to be emotionally affected by a show about abandoned racetracks, but if you genuinely love racing there's no way you won't be touched by the episodes they showed us, half-demolished Texas World Speedway and the end of the line for Myrtle Beach Speedway. #NASCAR pic.twitter.com/BHHFiOIR2u

I remember being in Charleston, SC watching Dale Jr win a race at Myrtle Beach track. I hate seeing so many of these tracks go away. The racing was so good on them.

Actually, I was never a fan of Rockingham. That race, in person, was boring... obviously, my opinion...

The thing that I liked about Rockingham is that it was really easy to watch a car around the entire track...

it was great last night. IRP. Ernie Francis Jr won, and had an awesome battle for the lead with Scott Speed in the closing laps.

. @RoadAmerica says today's crowd for the NASCAR Cup race will be the largest for a motorsports event in Wisconsin since at least the mid 20th century. Heavy minus sign The track isn't giving specifics but says it's hosted more than 100,000 people this weekend with today being the biggest day.

Chase Elliott is only 25 years old and in his 6th full-time season, but his victory today at Road America was his 7th road course win, 3rd all-time in Cup Series history behind Jeff Gordon (9) and Tony Stewart (8). Wow. https://es.pn/3hgCRIv

Happy that they return to an oval this week. I know I'm one of the few that isn't a big fan of road courses. My Fords have a lot of work to do.

I was never a fan of race courses until recently. It brings out good racing for me. Some of those guys really push the breaks to make aggressive turns inside of others. For me, that's makes for good racing!

I have watched replays on YouTube. It's almost like a made for TV movie. I'm sure it will be better as the years go on...

I don't mind a couple but IMO7 is a bit much. Just me though.

Bless You, Steve. Me too. Started at 10:00 am to beat the heat. And called the Firecracker 400, not the Coca Cola 400 or the Slim Jim 400,
just what it was to celebrate July 4th, the Firecracker 400. Good times for sure.
