To what is this attributed?
- The people who can't afford to go to a race anymore are watching TV instead.
- The broadcasts are on Fox, thereby vindicating NASCAR's decision to make the change in broadcasting.
- It is more popular that ever.
- It has been competing against sports like XFL.
Sorry for sounding so cynical, but I'm just not sold on this new TV package yet, and ratings numbers are often so questionable.
