Nov 9, 2009 at 10:10 PMThe ratings will continue to fall. Who wants to watch the same story over and over again, week after week. Once is enought.

Nov 9, 2009 at 10:49 PMOverall I think this Texas race was one of the better ones of the season. However, I think some of the problem with the racing and therefore the ratings is that unless the leader spins their tires on a re-start, like Kyle did once last Sunday, it's almost impossible to pass the lead car under green flag conditions. I like how Nascar kept the race green and let the chips fall where they may, and it didn't turn into a crappy 30 lap crash fest which is the new normal way Nascar races end.

Nov 10, 2009 at 8:32 AMTV ratings were't all that was off...did anyone see the empty seats? It looked like a practice session, not a Sprint cup race. And I only glaced at it during commercials of the football game. Was there anyone there at the end of the race?
