A mix of good and bad for the Indy coverage to year.
First, worst rating for a 500 and first below a 3 rating. 2.29 rating meaning about 3.67 million or so.
Second, best sports rating of the day and just edged out for the weekend by Lakers/Portland game Sat night, same rating but estimated 3.8 million
Third, 2nd best ratting on NBCSports since NFL playoff game in Jan.
Fourth, Indianapolis pulled at 24 rating. In theory that means 24% of families in Indianapolis turned in the race for the first live showing ever in town.
Fifth, by far the best race rating of the weekend. Nascar pulled at 1.9, Xfinity .55 and IMSA on its 3rd different scheduled slot of the weekend a dismal .17. AMA motocross doubled that at .36 on NBCSN earlier in the day.
