Darlington TV Ratings: May 20, 2020 (NASCAR Cup Series)

For the first time since 1984, the NASCAR Cup Series raced on a Wednesday night

NASCAR is back and a marathon of stock car races are currently underway. The sanction is making up for lost time by plugging in mid-week races.

View Darlington tv viewership numbers below.

For the first time since 1984, the NASCAR Cup Series ran on a Wednesday night. The race was cut short due to rain and Denny Hamlin was declared the race winner.

Four days prior, the NASCAR Cup Series ran at the same track. That has never happened, for a points paying race.

However, the Wednesday night showing saw a near 4 million drop in comparison to Sunday’s event. Of note, the Wednesday night running was shown on FS1 while Sunday’s race was shown on FOX.

For comparison, the Septemeber 2019 race at Darlington Raceway saw 1.86 million viewers. That race was shown on a similar network, NBCSN.
