Actually it isn't even close. There are many who believe it ranks pretty low on the ratings and popularity list.

According to this it is 6th even behind college football and college basketball.
According to the ratings for this last week Nascar ranked 7th and had around 1/3rd the viewers of football.

Nascar is big in some areas, and it is popular, but it is far from the most watched sport in the country.
