STAMFORD, Conn. - Sept. 30, 2015 - Ignited by the Fourth of July weekend fireworks that accompanied the debut of NASCAR, NBCSN achieved Total Day and primetime viewership records for the third quarter and the month of September, according to live plus same day data released by The Nielsen Company.

The 193,000 average Total Day (6 a.m.-6 a.m.) viewers ranks as NBCSN's most-watched third quarter ever and the second-most watched quarter in the network's history - trailing only the first quarter of 2014, which featured live weekday and weekend coverage of the Sochi Winter Games (215,000).

In addition:
