Can't believe there's not a Fontana TV ratings thread yet. Anyone? I'm interested in the status of Danica Mania and TV ratings are one way to gauge it.

Cable ratings don't usually come out until late Thursday or Friday after as Sunday event.DVR . . . . Life is too short to watch commercials. -
Why even bother asking. No one is gonna release it, and no one here will look for it. I predict a repeat of Motegi, Sears Point, and Watkins.Comment

As pathetic as the actual results are, substantial increases are in the right direction and at least provide motivation to keep plugging. The goals for next year should be to get ESPN above 1.0 and non-Indy races up above 2.0. That would be real good news. I don't think the compact schedule will be the end all be all, however, the one fault I always found with the current schedule is too much downtime between races. That part will help. Further development of personalities will also help. Hey, maybe more woemn dirvers are needed.“Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius.” -- Archbishop Fulton J. SheenComment

The Indy 500 was a 6.5, more than two points higher than last year. Fontana last year drew a .1, so it was half a point higher on one of the toughest competition weekends in sports of the year against golf, MLB playoffs, NFL and NASCAR on a Sunday. Even at that low level, a half point is a pretty significant gain against all of that going on."The lunatic fringes on both sides need to be written off." -- stnky peteComment

I predict the improvement won't carry through to next season.
