NASCAR’s 2026 Cup Race at COTA Lost Nearly 200,000 TV Viewers

The 2026 Texas Grand Prix garnered a rating of 2.06 and saw viewership drop to 3.933M from last year's 4.132M. O'Reilly and Trucks races drew 1.072M and 1.039 M viewers, respectively, with Trucks recording its best numbers since 2018, racing alongside IndyCar. Reports suggest Cup numbers were affected by cable news viewership (up 64%) due to the Middle East unrest.
