I loved it when they used to broadcast the day's stage EVERY DAY. Three days of bliss. And I enjoyed it more than F1 at the time because F1 was getting pretty boring.

Maybe Fox will use Waltrip for F1. I can't wait to hear him say "Kimi Raikkonen" and "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity" in the same sentence.

I'm with you - speed used to be my fav channel and now I watch F1 if it's on at a decent time and that's all.

I'd like to hear him say IT DONE BLOWED UP.

Does anyone have ratings numbers for all their Nascar shows? I'd like to see the numbers compared to F1 races, ALMS races, Pinks, etc.

Ratings aren't the only story.


NASCAR recap and replay shows = cheap for them

F1, WRC etc = expensive for them.

But as with most Speed threads

F1 and WRC yes, but do you know what their deal is for the ALMS, Rolex, Champ Car shows?

I know what the last couple year's SCCA World Challenge and runoffs numbers were. But I think the key is what ads can they sell during the shows?

If nobody watches the racing, the sponsors won't buy ads, and therefore Speed won't show the racing.

I only hold out hope for a unified, professional U.S. open wheel series
