NBC's broadcast of last Sunday's Checker Auto Parts 500 at Phoenix International Raceway earned a final Nielsen Media Research rating of 5.0 and a 10 share, Street & Smith's SportsBusiness Daily reports. The rating is 2 percent lower than the 5.1 NBC drew for last year's ninth race in the Chase For The Nextel Cup, the Mountain Dew Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.
