Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 was possibly one of the best 1.5-mile races we have seen in quite some time. The great race rewarded NASCAR with a 2.6 overnight television rating.
This equates to an eight-percent increase from this exact same event a season ago.
The top-five markets that took in the Coca-Cola 600 were Greensboro (8.9), Charlotte (8.5), Greenville (7.7), Richmond (7.4) and Louisville (5.8).
