“Speedvision has been involved in conversations with NASCAR since the summer of 1999 regarding the creation and development of a NASCAR channel. Contrary to rumors, those discussions have in no way been related to converting Speedvision into a NASCAR channel, nor has there been any discussion of NASCAR purchasing Speedvision for that purpose.
here is the article speedvision news (http://speedvision.com/pub/articles/racing/08INews/000412a.html)

Another one from that article:
"Speedvision’s contracts with cable affiliates and other programmers would make that scenario very unlikely."
That sounds a bit better.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! *

see what a country full of raving mad car enthusiasts can accomplish!
The previous article was completely clear on what Speedvision would become. I guess it was a bad case of reporting, but at least Fox knows that people like us would probably firebomb their headquarters if things go bad.

Thank God. I'd hate for Speedvision to go all NASCAR.

Nascar is boring! I think I'd rather watch my sink back up all day! :mad:
Less Nascar - more WRC and F1.
Ted Turner, please remove your head from your a$$. Don't mess with a good thing - keep walkin' bub.

Excellent news! Keep those left turners & Ted Turner's away! Yay!!:D There's alot of room for improvement on Speedvision, but it's the best we've got as far as racing coverage! Where else is the WRC shown on this continent? Ans: nowhere. The World Touring coverage is fantastic. Some of the material is fluff, and the infomercials bite the big one, but whenever there's a good race on, even if it's motorcycles, I'm watchin' it.
That article was almost 3 months ago...
What makes you think they didn't change their mind and ditch the separate Nascar Channel idea?
Need something more current.

I also like some of the classic car information and restoration shows on Speedvision. Speedvision = totally NASCAR we don't need. A
