Goodbye to Speed TV?

I'd like to see an all racing channel. Of course NASCAR is going to have their talk shows, but besides that every show should be a race. And for gods sake get rid of the dang monster jam.

This offers me further reason to give up my TV.

1. DirecTV (my provider) is grossly over priced (I pay $90/month).
2. Nearly all the shows I watch are available online with much fewer commercials for free or with my current subscription to Netflix.
3. If I want to watch my dirt racing live, there are all kinds of LIVE streams coming from the premiere events around the country and buying them via iPPV would cost me far less than what I'm already paying for DirecTV.

Frankly, I don't know WHY I'm not on the phone already cancelling my service. Much rather give my money to local racing.

On another message board I'm on this was mentioned but it wasn't Speed being made into the all-sports network but instead Fuel, a Fox property that has little viewership beyond UFC programming.

Wish NBC Sports Network had better distribution. Their Indy car coverage is excellent, but I know a lot of people who don't receive this station.
