Sprint Cup Racing on Fox concluded its 2008 campaign with a 4.2/10 for the race from Dover Sunday to rank as the top-rated event for the weekend.
Last year’s race which was rained-out and rescheduled on a Monday afternoon posted a 2.2/7 and was not included in the 2007 season average. For the 2008 season, Sprint Cup racing averaged a 5.2/11 in the meters for 13 races, flat with last year’s average for just 12 races.
