Yeah, that's not the cars but rather the track. The compound NASCAR uses lasts too long and doesn't work for anything other than their cars. There's zero grip for it with Indy tires. Longer running would help a little but Firestone warned it would be a single lane track as it turned out to be

Gah, Rosenqvist always end up doing something like this. I wish he’d just calm it a bit at key moments. He’s probably quick enough to be a future champ, but clearly not if he can’t finish. Also, could chip Ganassi not find a face mask that fit?

Looks like Indy for a big push from the NBC airing, highest non-Indy ratings since Detroit Race #2 in 2016. And that's with multiple affiliates not airing the race and Florida having TS Christobal coverage.
Overnights were 1.28 million views. https://racer.com/2020/06/07/nbc-cla...-texas-opener/ |

It doesn't hurt that this is one of the few motorsport on at a moment, so that's bound to help ratings. We'll see how good this stacks up as other motorsports come back, but I expect to be not that much less as time goes on. It's good encouragement for the series moving forward after all that's happened

Far from the most exciting race, but at least it happened.
Couldn't buy the Claro Video subscription, it showed error messages. So I resigned to finding an alternative stream on Twitch. |

I think good overall, read a few more stories where large affiliates did not run the race and instead ran local programming against Fox with bowling and Lego building. The number is expected to a fall a bit today but does not include any of the streaming viewers for areas where they would have used NBCSN stream because it wasn't OTA. I didn't see any estimates for that number but wouldn't guess more than 100k.

Good race, but without surprises. It seems like Chip Ganassi engineers did an amazing job with the car settings, and Dixon was incredible. It's nice that there was a race restart right before the finish, but that didn't change anything.
I wonder why is now such a long break until the next race? |

It probably is the case, easier to manage than a week where another major US race series is being held twice. It doesn’t matter, we can wait. It’s not too long away

I am just looking forward to the Indy 500. That is the event that’s gonna be worth the wait. Although hopefully we can have some great racing before that as a nice build up

Yeah, that number is bullshit. It's NOT the total and everyone knows it. Adobe can't count a damn thing and that's the exact number Nielsen released as well so either no one streamed it or they can't count. Ignore the total crap, it's not and ALWAYS wrong

Adding streaming viewers to the total complicates matters. There numbers always tend to be a guesstimate. So I wouldn't trust it either

Seems like an awful long gap to the 2nd race
Feels like Texas was a bit of a tester |

IndyCar pushed races as late as possible to increase the likelihood of having crowds.

Purely a personal observation but having just caught up with the 30 min highlight from Texas, don't the cars look horrendous!
