Sunday's Sprint Cup race broadcast earned ABC a 2.8 rating in the Nielsen overnights, Street and Smith’s SportsBusiness Daily and SceneDaily.com reported.
According to the Nielsen Media Research, that represents a decline of 17.6 percent.
ABC garnered a 3.4 rating for last fall's race at Phoenix International Raceway, but part of that event was switched to ESPN2.
