The CW Network averaged 1.31 million viewers for Atlanta Xfinity race

The NASCAR Cup Series delivered its top post-Daytona audience in four years, but it is the Xfinity Series on newcomer CW that may raise the most eyebrows.

The corresponding Xfinity Series race averaged a 0.7 and 1.31 million on CW, flat and up 10% respectively from last year on FS1 (0.7, 1.2M) and the highest for the Atlanta Xfinity race since 2017.

Notably — and perhaps incredibly given it is the CW — the race ranked second for the day among broadcast network sportscasts behind only the primetime Lakers-Nuggets NBA game on ABC. The Saturday over-the-air slate included the NHL on ABC, college basketball on CBS and FOX, and the PGA Tour on NBC.
