What’s Happening?

Throughout every NASCAR season, NASCAR fans often use TV viewership to gauge how successful, cared for, or interested the broader sports world is in NASCAR. This year, TNT Sports’ five races and five exclusive streaming races will be added to the schedule through Amazon Prime Video.

• We will directly compare each race’s viewership from 2024 to that race’s (or closest comparable race’s) 2025 viewership. Furthermore, we will keep a tally of how each race weekend fared compared to the same weekend last season.
• This can be confusing, as under the “2025 Season as a Whole” section, races will not be compared directly to themselves but to their correlating 2024 race weekend. For example, in that section, Mexico City, as the 16th race of the year, will be compared to 2024’s 16th race of the year, Sonoma.
• If need be, we will also address any potential dips in ratings. These can include races removed and added, such as removing a Richmond race for Mexico City or weather delays and reschedulings.

*NOTE: The 2024 Clash at the LA Coliseum was moved up one day due to weather and moved from free, over-the-air TV on FOX to a cable channel, FS1. This is why there was such a major drop in TV viewership.
