I'd be happy if Nascar was completely eliminated (or at least oval tracks in general).

Hmmm... Now there's a waste of time. Their first push was when Speedvison was bought but they didn't feel ready to go 100% against real racing at the time. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

They really need to cut the nascar crap out. Its boring and not very good to watch. More WRC would definitley make me tune in more. Last time they had a WRC program i even taped it since i love that stuff.

The thing about all of the NASCAR on SpeedTV is that most isn't actual racing, but those annoying 'post race analysis' shows where everyone is just yelling back-n-forth at each other. Even if I was into NASCAR, those shows would turn me away...

Signed. Also asked for V8 Supercars, DTM, BTCC, more FIAGT and LeMans Endurance Series. Don't mind the tuner shows. You're right about the post race analysis and talk shows. Listening to a Nascar driver talk about racing is almost as interesting as listening to an NBA player talk about basketball. The level of eloquence is similar, only the accent is different.
