I like FOX coverage of NASCAR too, but this just blows.
It also looks like race hub will only be on two days a week... Is there really that many people interested in that UFC crap?

Wait... I haven't watched SPEED in a couple of days (its 583 for me with Fios) can someone fill me in? Does this have anything to do with the Time Warner blackout, or does it affect all providers? Is SPEED gone for good!? I have been watching the Mecum auction in Monterey on Velocity lately so that's my explanation for being outta the loop.

Fox bought speed channel a couple years ago and today they changed it to Fox Sports 1 channel. Mostly crap sports on it now. They will still be covering some NASCAR but most all other motor sports stuff is gone.

Its everyone. Fox, the owner of Speed has decided that they can make more money with an ESPN competitor than they can off a motorsports centric channel. Most of the old shows & event coverage are gone.

I'm sorry, but the only non-motorsport sporting event I ever watch is college football.

Everything else just blows and in fact is boring as hell to me.

Aww, come on! With all the worthless channels out there, they decide to take this one away!

What's with the crack down on gear heads these days. I know at the end of the day ya gotta make money, but this was a well loved channel with tons of great programming. What a shame...

Yeah, I'm upset. I was under the impression that it was just a name change. I was wrong.
