Longtime NASCAR Voice Doesn't Sugarcoat Concerns About Shocking Drop in 2023 Television Ratings

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to the Bristol dirt this weekend for the ninth race of the season. Many fans will attend at the half-mile track this Easter Sunday while others will watch on television. However, according to the most recent ratings numbers released this week, not nearly as many fans will be tuning in to watch on TV as have in the past.

Through the first eight races this year (including the Clash), every single one has seen a decline in total viewership from the year before. And even more concerning is most of those drops have been in the double digits from 2022. It appears the novelty of the Next Gen car has worn off.

And according to longtime NASCAR voice Dave Moody, it's something that should be concerning to everyone involved.
