Saturday afternoon's Xfinity race saw a big jump from last year, drawing a 0.54 and averaged 829,000 viewers. With an earlier start in 2016 and a slot on CNBC, the race drew a 0.27/387,000 viewers.

It was the least-watched Xfinity Series race all season, the the three-least watched coming in consecutive weeks.

The Camping World Truck Series Saturday night race from Las Vegas scored a 0.25 and 408,000 viewers on FS1, not far off from 2016, when the race registered a 0.27 and 447,000 viewers.
