Television ratings held steady for NASCAR from Atlanta over the holiday weekend.

Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race from Atlanta drew a 3.2 U.S. rating and 5.2 million viewers on ESPN, flat in ratings and down 2% in viewership from last year (3.2, 5.3M) and down 6% in both measures from 2012 (3.4, 5.6M). Excluding rainouts, the race ranks as the lowest rated (tie) and least-viewed edition of the race since 2003 (3.1, 4.7M).

Atlanta marks just the latest race to hit at least a 10-year low in ratings or viewership this season, joining Talladega, Darlington, Martinsville and several others.

Despite the relatively low numbers, the race was only the fourth Sprint Cup telecast this season to avoid a decline in ratings. Three of the last four races have been flat or up compared to last year.

It was also the top program of the week on cable, topping all college football games on ESPN.
