Wow, what a sport! Even a rained out race scores the top TV ratings!
SCENE Daily reports that Fox Sports officials say Sunday's coverage of the rain delay of the Aaron's 499 from Talladega Speedway still ranked as the top sporting event of the weekend. Fox filled the rain delay slot with 13 driver interviews and a talk with actor Will Ferrell during the two-hour block before the race was officially postponed. According to Nielsen Media Research, Sunday's coverage produced a 4.5/11 national rating, outdrawing the NFL draft, the PGA and the NHL playoffs, among other things.
