What Fans Think of NASCAR’s TV Coverage in 2026 (So Far)
What’s Happening?
As the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season gets underway, The Daily Downforce is once again tracking how fans feel about race broadcasts throughout the year, just as we did last year. This ratings tracker exists to capture fan feedback in a clear, consistent way across the entire season for each TV partner.
How the Tracker Works
After each Cup Series race weekend, we will post a fan poll asking one simple question: “How would you rate this weekend’s Cup Series broadcast?” And fans can vote and comment based on their overall viewing experience. This article will be updated weekly with the most recent race’s numbers added to the tracker.
Where and How to Vote
The poll is posted on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after each race.
Fans can vote directly in the poll with just one tap.
Replies and quote posts are also monitored to gather more detailed feedback for a separate article after the season is concluded
Participation is quick and open to everyone.
