The ratings game.

The 2007 Indy Racing League season is over, and the television numbers were decent. Seven races on ABC averaged a 1.7 rating, though much of that is attributable to the 4.3 rating for the 2007 Indy 500. Excluding the Indy 500, the average is 1.1. Races on ESPN and ESPN2 both averaged a 0.5 cable rating, with coverage on the latter network up 67% from 2006.Yankees/Red Sox drew a 2.6 final rating [link]
