Formula 1 Set to Dominate NASCAR in U.S. Viewership Race by 2034

NASCAR’s Triumph Over Formula 1: The Ultimate Showdown for Racing Supremacy in the US

Rev up your engines, racing fans, because the battle for dominance in the world of motorsports is reaching a fever pitch! In a clash of titans between NASCAR and Formula 1 to win over American viewers, the latest statistics have revealed a surprising turn of events that no one saw coming. While Formula 1 has long been hailed for its international glamour and star-studded appeal, NASCAR has silently solidified its reign as the undisputed champion, leaving F1 in the dust and struggling to catch up.

In a weekend filled with high-octane action, the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix went head-to-head with NASCAR’s Wurth 400 at the Texas Motor Speedway, posing a tough choice for racing enthusiasts. And when the TV ratings rolled in, it was NASCAR that emerged victorious, pulling in a staggering 2.56 million viewers on Fox Sports 1, while F1 lagged behind with 2.1 million on ABC—a significant 29% drop from the previous year. The numbers don’t lie, and they paint a clear picture of NASCAR’s unwavering popularity among American audiences.

But the real shocker came from a bold statement made by Mark Lazarus, the CEO of Versant, a media powerhouse with networks like USA, CNBC, and MSNBC under its belt. In a daring move that could reshape the landscape of motorsport broadcasting in the U.S., Lazarus announced that NBC would no longer be bidding on F1 broadcasting rights, citing F1’s lackluster viewership compared to NASCAR. This strategic snub is a major blow to F1’s aspirations of conquering the American market and could have far-reaching implications for the sport’s future.

While F1 continues to struggle with fluctuating viewership, NASCAR’s numbers tell a different story of unwavering consistency and growth. The Xfinity Series race soared to over 1 million viewers on The CW, marking a milestone achievement that F1 can only dream of matching. NASCAR’s firm grip on American racing fans is further solidified by its 13% increase in overall viewership on FOX and 16% on FS1 compared to the previous year, showcasing a deep-rooted connection with its loyal fanbase that F1 is still striving to establish.

As former NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace aptly put it, “NASCAR is the leader in all motorsports TV. (Not even close).” The sentiment rings true as NASCAR continues to outshine F1 in the battle for viewership and fan engagement. With NASCAR’s unyielding dominance in the U.S. market, F1 faces an uphill battle in winning over American hearts and minds.

In a thrilling showdown of grit versus glamour, NASCAR stands tall as the undisputed champion, leaving F1 in its wake. Will F1 be able to stage a comeback and dethrone NASCAR, or is the latter’s lead too formidable to overcome? The race for racing supremacy rages on, and only time will tell who will emerge victorious in the end.
