NASCAR: "lowest ratings ever"? Being tweeted. I don't know. I doubt it. I didn't watch. Getting too political. Other sources suggest NASCAR ratings are up. If true, it's probably because NASCAR and PGA are the only live sporting events on television right now. Minor exceptions of course: arm wrestling; corn bag toss; dodge ball are now being televised.
