Unfortunately for NASCAR, all that got derailed in the opening laps of the Camping World Truck Series race, when several drivers had dirt stuck to their grills and windshields. The mud was so bad that officials had to park the trucks shortly after and the race was eventually rescheduled for the next day.
Following that, NASCAR was met with another day of nonstop rain on Sunday, which caused record flooding and forcing officials to move the race to Monday afternoon. That wasn’t enough to help them ratings-wise though, as they only averaged a 1.8.
While the whole endeavor of racing on the dirt might have come at a loss as far as TV ratings are concerned, that was primarily down to the weather not cooperating, which is out of NASCAR’s control. They should be commended for what they were able to accomplish during this very chaotic weekend.
