Очень надеюсь что Ларсон и дальше будет продолжать в таком же духе.

“I feel like we won. Those are the days that championships are made out of." @KevinHarvick battles to finish 13th. http://bit.ly/2nsj6Ss 

 

Финиш на 13-м месте ощущается как победа, - Харвик. Я с ним, кстати, не спорю. Это было впечатляюще, несмотря ни на что.

да, да, теперь припоминаю, они еще когда хотели что-то там вместе устроить, но им графики мешали, пока Баттон еще выступал). Значит, на этой почве и познакомились.

NASCAR Fontana Ratings Lowest Since At Least 1998

NASCAR Cup Series racing from Fontana (CA) pulled a 3.2 final rating and 5.2 million viewers on FOX Sunday afternoon, down 20% in ratings and 24% in viewership from last year (4.0, 6.8M), down 26% and 29% respectively from 2015 (4.3, 7.3M) and the lowest rated edition of the race since at least 1998 (ratings prior to 1999 were not available). The previous low was a 3.8 for rain-delayed coverage in 2012.

Kyle Larson‘s win also ranks as the least-watched Cup Series race from Fontana since at least 2001.

By most standards, a 3.2 rating would be an excellent number opposite the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight. Go back three years, however, and NASCAR posted a 4.2 rating on Elite Eight Sunday (at Martinsville). Six years ago, the rating was a 4.6 (at Fontana). Nine years ago, NASCAR actually beat an Elite Eight game head-to-head, with Martinsville (5.3) edging Memphis-Texas on CBS (5.1).

Dating back to 1999, only one Cup Series race has had a lower rating opposite the NCAA Tournament — Martinsville on Fox Sports 1 two years ago (2.4).

Overall, Sunday’s race delivered the fourth-lowest Cup Series rating ever on the FOX broadcast network (dates back to 2001), with the past two races ranking among the bottom five.

Since the Daytona 500 broke even in ratings and posted a modest increase in viewership, the past for Cup Series races have hit multi-year lows in ratings and viewership. Three of those races have hit at least a 10-year low in both measures, with Las Vegas and Phoenix both posting their lowest ratings ever.

Despite the historically low numbers, NASCAR was once again the top non-NCAA sporting event of the weekend, cruising past second-place coverage of the PGA-WGC Match Play (1.5, 2.3M).

@KevinHarvick heads to @MartinsvilleSwy with Daniel Knost serving as interim crew chief. http://bit.ly/2olCRt5 

 

Дэниэл Кност, бывший КЧ Даники, будет временным КЧ у Харвика в Мартинсвилле. СХР отказались от апелляции.

Цитата

 

Turn 1: Kyle Larson mentioned he'd "love to run the Indy 500 at least once," however team co-owner Felix Sabates says there's "no need for [Larson] to go take a risk of hurting himself just for one race." Should the team let Larson run the "double?"

Скрытый текст

 

Ricky Craven, ESPN NASCAR analyst: It would be intriguing for all of us. Kyle Larson in a Chip Ganassi-prepared Indy 500 entry -- let's hope it happens. However, I have to agree with Felix because at this point this risk outweighs the reward. Larson should have plenty of time to scratch the May race off his bucket list, but the priority now has to be a Cup title and anything other than NASCAR at this point should be considered a distraction for the young driver.

 

Ryan McGee, ESPN.com: All due respect to Felix, but this wouldn't be his call. The guy who has his name in a much larger font size in the team logo, aka the guy who has won the Indy 500 four times, would be the man to make this decision. And if anyone knows Chip Ganassi then they know he will do whatever it takes to win Indy over all else, and if he believes this kid gives him a shot, then he will give him that shot. I think they will absolutely give this a little more time and take advantage of Larson's finally-arrived momentum. But I also absolutely think he'll race at Indy sooner than later. The logistics of double-dipping would be a cake walk for Larson. Honestly, it would feel more normal to him than a strictly stock car schedule.

Bob Pockrass, ESPN.com: Yes. But not this year. The best way to do the double is to have some IndyCar experience. Do a deal with a sponsor that allows Larson to drive two or three IndyCar races before the 500 to get familiar with the cars, race procedures and the team. With the new IndyCar bodies coming for next season, it might make more sense to eye 2019 with a couple of races in 2018 to get prepared.

Matt Willis, ESPN Stats & Info: Absolutely. The Indianapolis 500 is a special race, and driving a Ganassi-powered car, Larson could be capable of winning it. With Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards all retiring from NASCAR, the sport is in an interesting time of building up new stars. Larson winning (or battling for the win), could put him in superstar status. While open-wheel cars are more dangerous than stock cars, racers gotta race.

 

 

Аналитики ESPN считают, что Ганасси должен дать Ларсону шанс выступить в Индианаполис 500, в т. ч. и потому, что НАСКАР нужны новые звезды.

Покрасс говорит, что было бы разумно дать Ларсону возможность привыкнуть к новой машине ИндиКар (которая будет представлена в 2018-м году), дать провести пару гонок, а затем выступить в Инди 500 в 2019 году.

 

Команда Ганасси в ИндиКар, как правило, является претендентом на победу в Инди 500.
