ABC's coverage of last Sunday’s Cup race at Phoenix earned a final national rating of 3.6, according to Nielsen Media Research. Last year's race received a 3.7 and was also shown on ABC.
However, last weekend’s race left ABC and was moved to ESPN2 for the final 30 minutes. The part of the broadcast on ESPN2 received a 3.3 national rating.
ESPN2's coverage of last weekend's Nationwide race at Phoenix earned a 1.3 rating, up from the 1.1 it earned a year ago on the same network.
ESPN2's ratings for the Nationwide Series are up seven percent from 2007.
