Sprint Unlimited TV Ratings Tanked... Huge Drop in Viewership

This report has been making the rounds the past several days from Associated Press:

Sprint Unlimited not a hit on TV

So...I had a doctor appointment yesterday while they were running. I had to go to Myrtle Beach last night..DVR'd the replay...so what I am hearing is just run it in the background while I am doing something else, correct? Not a sit down keep your eyes on kinda of race, huh? What a shame...what a shame...kinda reminds me of a baby doll that I wanted SO badly when I was a little girl. Her name was Thumbelina ...and she moved like a real baby. My Granny got me that baby doll for Christmas. I was so excited! However, I couldn't leave well enough alone...I had to tear her apart, to see what made her move....lost my wonderful Thumbelina. Like you, said....if it ain't broke...don't fix it.

I watched the Sprint Unlimited and thought, for the most part, there was so fair racing, but the format stunk. As for the Twins, Duels, whatever, I spent both races trying to figure out if they were racing or riding. I'm still not sure. I am still looking forward to the 500. Oh, and one thought for D.W.; When Danica loses the lead, PLEASE DO NOT TELL US HOW THAT IS WHAT OFTEN HAPPENS TO THE POLE SITTER AT DAYTONA. Damn, that just really sucked to hear his mouth making excuses yesterday.

the races were yawners - trevor bayne had good run going - austin dillon is going to be a good driver - as far as danica ive never watched more of a race from the back of the pack - all the cronies in the box are just overkill - but that is what a mute button is for - nascar is losing fans - i talked with a prominent business man from charlotte that has ties to nascar - he seems to think nascar is going the wrong way - they are very concerned about their advertizing dollars .

I can't blame the businessman you cite. I think getting the cars back to looking similar to the ones on the street is a step in the right direction. Now we need some great racing.
