SPEED for the most part is our motorsport network, and thank God for them. If it wasn't for SPEED my F1 coverage would be minimal at best! NASCAR in the U.S. is what F1 is in the UK, Europe, and the rest of the world! I would love more than anything to have F1 back here in the states, and really give NASCAR a run for their money.
Well, there is some good news. NASCAR viewership is reported to be dropping, and ALMS viewership and attendance is going up.
Of course it's going to take a long time to overtake NASCAR, but it's a start
Maybe once SPEED finally scales back on their NASCAR whoring it will get better
