TNT reports that its coverage of last Saturday night’s LifeLock.com 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Chicagoland Speedway drew a 3.0 rating from Nielsen Media Research, 6.2 percent lower than the 3.2 rating it earned for the race last year.
Although previously reported that it was down 18.9 percent, that was comparing the national rating to last year’s cable rating. This year’s cable rating was 3.5, down from a 3.7.
The Chicagoland race was the final one of the six races for TNT this season. ESPN will pick up the Sprint Cup coverage beginning with the Allstate 400 from Indianapolis Motor Speedway next week.
