Kicker is, ratings are still down.... so even despite their 'efforts' in what many call officiating manipulation, numbers are STILL dropping.

Ratings don't mean jack. Between onlnve live streaming (legal and illegal) and apps that allow people to follow races, you can't expect to have the same number of people sitting down watching it conventionally on the TV. Plus, the system has an inherent flaw in that it only tracks a small sample size then estimates the full ratings based on that small sample. Here's an interesting article that goes with what I'm saying: Why Nielsen Ratings Are Inaccurate, and Why They'll Stay That Way | Splitsider

As for the fines, I expected it to be Keselowski and Hamlin, not Keselowski and Stewart.

Ratings mean everything to sponsors.

Well, I'm going to say NASCAR has remained consistent on "Boys Have At It...". They gave penalties to the two drivers who we saw use their car to get at someone (whether justified or not...). They don't seem to have an issue with the drivers still wanting to get out of their car and go at each other in some sort of way like we saw with Kenseth going for Brad.

NASCAR should setup a ring in the infield and sell tickets to the "rematches" after the race!

Still think NASCAR should have penalized Kenseth as well but oh well.
