Kill the NASCAR channel February 24, 2006, 10:41:29 AM Or give us back SpeedTV and get your own NASCAR Channel.It's pretty pointless, since they already gathered 65,000 sig's last time, and they're only looking for 26,000 this time, but still. I'd love to see something done about the 20hrs of NASCAR coverage a day. Seriously, I don't need to watch Tony Stewart play poker, or Jeff Gordon hunt Grouse. What's next? A reality show where we watch Jr. go through the daily grind of Eat, shiznit, Sleep, Drive, Give a big shiznit-eating grin to the fans.http://www.petitiononline.com/SpdTV/petition.html Quote Selected

After 500 miles and 3-4 hours, where are you? Right back where you started. What's the point in that? Quote Selected

Once it went to SpeedTV, NASCAR has been taking over every slot progressively.Thundergrowl, you're right. How can you get excited about watching the same run, the same pass, the same pit, over and over and over for years on end? It's completely unchanging. Don't get me started on the ization of the term 'Stock'. Quote Selected

I'd love to see more SCCA, WRC, Tarmac Rallies, Prostreet Drags, Overland Rallies (Dakar), Trophy Trucks, Sprint cars, etc. Any wheeled sport where the point is to get across the line before everyone else. I wouldn't even ask them to consider getting rid of NASCAR. Just put it on an equal playing field with other forms of motorsport. Quote Selected

I was thinking more along the lines of the more mainstream stuff. I like most all of the other stuff, but when I have a choice between watching a Non Athletic Sport Created Around Rednecks race vs. an F1/Indy/Champ car race, Nascar loses everytime. Oh, and that Danica Patrick is friggin' gorgeous !!! Quote Selected

One of the reasons people won't buy an American car is they don't hold any value whatsoever. It's about time they were worth something. The same issue you see as a problem, I see as a positive. :) Quote Selected
