That's kind of what I figured out in dealing with them...when i said "Indy Cars" they somewhat knew why I was upset.
I must compliment DirecTV about something they did for me in May. On about lap 45 of the Indy 500 my local ABC affiliate had a transmission problem which kept the DirecTV customers in my market from being able to see the race... the customer service rep at DTV unlocked the ABC east coast feed for me which allowed me to watch the race without seeing the locally aired commercials. Giving a customer a national network feed is a bit of a no-no because the local advertisers don't get their commercials in your face but she understood how big a deal it was to me and helped me even though the problem was not theirs.
I have had nothing short of great service in my 5 years with DTV and I understand that Comcast bullied them out of carrying Versus.
Hopefully IZOD will help the IRL have more network overage next season so we won't be at the mercy of Comcast.
