TNT's final broadcast of a Sprint Cup Series race this season saw a significant drop off from last season, probably in part due to the race's movement from Sunday afternoon a year ago to Saturday night this year.
The July 12 race at Chicagoland Speedway received a 3.7 rating on TNT, down 23 percent from the 4.8 it received in 2007 when it was broadcast on Sunday afternoon.
The July 11 Nationwide Series race received a 1.6 rating on ESPN. The same race a year ago, broadcast on a Saturday afternoon rather than Friday night, received a 1.9 rating on ABC.
