HOMESTEAD, Fl. — On a more positive note, the final race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup featuring Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards earned the largest viewership ever for a NASCAR Sprint Cup race on ESPN.

It averaged 6,799,000 viewers and earned a 4.6 household coverage rating (4.0 U.S. rating), according to the Nielsen Co. The viewership average broke ESPN’s previous record of 6,668,000 viewers for the 2008 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis. Final figures do not include a rain delay from 4:45-6 p.m.

Ratings for the Chase increased 14.8 percent from 2010, averaging a 3.1 U.S. rating compared to 2.7 for last year.
