Overnight TV ratings mixed for Texas Cup race

Monday, April 10, 2006

Fox's broadcast of Sunday's Samsung/RadioShack 500 NASCAR Nextel Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway earned an overnight Nielsen Media Research rating of 4.8 and an 11 market share, Street and Smith's SportsBusiness Daily reports.

The rating is 4 percent lower than the 5.0/11 Fox earned for the 2005 Texas race, but last year's race was a week later and was not broadcast opposite the Masters golf tournament, which typically draws strong ratings.

This year's overnight rating for Texas was 4.3 percent higher than the 4.6 Fox earned for the 2005 spring Martinsville race, which aired at the same time as the final round of the Masters.

CBS earned a 9.0/19 overnight for this year's final round of the Masters, making it the weekend's highest-rated sports event.
