Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Josh Reaume was suspended by NASCAR earlier in the week for an offensive social media post. We now know that post was a picture of his toaster strudel.
If I said I knew what happened there, my nose would be hitting the screen.
Couple of lasts thing to close the season;
Driver movement all over the place. Switching teams, moving up from Trucks to X-Men and X-Men to Cup. It will all be sorted by Daytona.
Phoenix TV ratings from Jayski;
Sunday’s telecast of the NASCAR Cup Series finale on NBC averaged a 1.87 Nielsen National rating and 3.063 million viewers. That was a solid increase over the 1.63/2.6m that watched this race last year when it served as the penultimate round, although down from a 2.24/3.7m for last year’s finale at Homestead (both races also on NBC).
The Xfinity Series finale at Phoenix on Saturday averaged a 0.59/980,000 viewers on cable network NBCSN.
The Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series finale posted year-on-year gains on both its Phoenix and Homestead equivalents. Running Friday night on Fox Sports 1, the telecast averaged a 0.29/493,000 viewers.
