ABC's telecast of the Ford 400 Nextel Cup race from Homestead-Miami Speedway received a 4.2 rating, according to Street and Smith's SportsBusiness Daily.
That was down 10.6 percent from NBC's broadcast of the race a year ago.
NBC's final telecast of a NASCAR race received a 4.7 national rating, according to Nielson Media Research figures.
The lower ratings for the Homestead race reflected a trend in Chase For The Nextel Cup events, as all 10 Chase races in 2007 received lower ratings compared to 2006. Some races were not comparable, however, because a race may have been on network TV last year and cable in '07.
According to SportsBusiness Daily, the top-rated sports program for the Nov. 17-18 weekend was the Dallas Cowboys-Washingtomn Redskins NFL game, which received a 15.0 rating.
