There is huge debate going on through social media about whether NASCAR’s new rule package produced a better product in Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but one thing that isn’t debatable: the ratings for this race were up slightly from 2018.

.@FOXTV earned a 2.9 overnight rating for yesterday’s #Pennzoil400 @LVMotorSpeedway, up 4% from a 2.8 for last year’s race.
