@chris_tonnjr22 As someone who would choose NASCAR over IndyCar, the Indy 500 is everything I wish the Daytona would (and could) be. The prestige, pageantry, and the fact that it doesn’t feel like a lottery or luck like Daytona.

2026 Daytona 500: 7.489 million viewers 2026 Indy 500: 6.635 million



What race will have more TV viewers in 2026?





Two different numbers for NASCAR this week. NASCAR went back to the Nielsen Panel-only numbers this month and received a 2.6 million average. But Prime uses the Panel + "Big Data" measurement (which NASCAR had been using) and reports 3 million -- most-watched Prime race yet.




























@KevinHarvick Its nice to see the racing community brought together, especially with some late night racin' with the @NASCAROReillyAP fellas.
