So it looks like FOX got rid of SPEED and made Fox Sports One. The last thing we needed is another ESPN type channel. It started saturday, and the few times I've clicked on it there was absolutely nothing to do with an engine. I wonder what will happen when its time for Super Cross?

All I can say, with Fox Sport 1, 219 on dish TV, you best like a foot ball, base ball, basket ball or fighting gloves, cause an engine dont look like is going to have much to do with it.
I couldnt find Nascar race Sunday, sorry as it is I still wanted to see who won.

I believe we have a difference of opinion here. Lol Especially when they're running on dirt. I never have cared any at all about football, baseball, basketball, or any kind of fighting. If I did there's already a hundred channels for that stuff. Only decent thing they did was stick it right in the middle of a bunch of channels I skip over anyway.

It weird how they're mixing it up on FS1 and FS2. I couldn't find the motogp race from Indy on sunday because my cable provider had it listed wrong. Most of the motorsports will be FS2, unless it's big enough to be live on FS1 I guess. Speed channel is dead. I forget who's gonna have SX(fox or cbs or nbc). It's a mess right now. Racertv hasn't been on much either, which I enjoy watching also.

Speed Channel was a waste to begin with the past few years with the exception of their supercross coverage. CBSActionSportsNetwork has been getting the nod lately at my house.
Nothing against Nascar or Nascar fans but wouldn't you think they would have their own channel dedicated to nothing but Nascar? Just like the NFL and NHL have?

Its been crap since it went from Speednetwork to Speed.

Reality TV has messed up a lot of channels. look at Discovery and History, this is what is going to happen.

Saturday, August 24, 2013 AMA Motocross Lake Elsinore
3:30pm-4:30pm (L) 450 Moto 1 (NBCSN)
6:00pm-8:00pm (L) 2nd Motos (FS2)
10:00pm-11:00pm (SD) 250 Moto 1 (NBCSN)

Same schedule, FuelTV is now FS2. Hopefully they won't be changing it when, Supercross starts. :applouse:

I hope the supercross and outdoor motocross does not take a step back. I don't have fuel and I have a very large channel package with xfinity. Fuel at this time is in a small 10 month adder package that I do not plan on getting. It may end up making me check into other options. One would think that with the number of channels avail now that you would see more coverage but that is not the case. In the mid to late 80's atv races from one round of the golden state nationals and all of the mickey thompson series were shown each year. I remember them even having a speedway series from costa mesa on with quads and bikes back then. You would see a lot more usac midget and world of outlaws dirt races in the past as well. Crazy to me.
