auto racing is more popular then football,baseball,etc
sports.oh, and it’s just great to have your kids ufc
cage fitting.I wonder where the over educated exc’s at
espn get there imfo……..they should be replaced.
What happened to all the great shows like Pinks all out, pass time, Geerz, etc? Great shows! Guess FOX doesn’t care about their audience! These shows made them a cut above. Shame on FOX!
Here’s a another channel I can block off the remote.
This sucks big time.
BRING BACK SPEED TV INSTEAD OF ALL THIS CRAP YOU NOW ARE PUTTING ON THIS CHANNEL! I CAN GO TO ANY NUMBER OF CHANNELS TO WATCH FOOTBALL OR UFC! WHOSE BRIGHT IDEA WAS THIS ANYWAYS?
There are so many other places you can get football. It was nice having Speed, I’ll miss it. Check out Velocity channel for good car stuff.
Leave it to Fox to create yet another mundane analyze the piss out of football channel. Another Jackass idiot on a weekend pass!
I will never watch another FOX channel !
no pass time or pinks pinks all out and the other race
shows i guess the the tv networks don’t care about their audiences
all of us speed fanatics should find a way to protest this crap.
Loved Pass Time, With Paige Simpson,Gears,Chop Cut,Rebuild and others, Dave Despain shows Now we have more the same old crap . Too many football shows, or ufc who cares!!!!!!!I knew this was going to happen Fox Sux

We need a gear head racing channel, whether its speed or something else!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOUR DRIVING ALL MY BUSINESS TO DIRECT TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU RACE, NASCAR PEOPLE~~~WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOOD OLE DAYS, WHEN YOU KNEW WHERE YOUR RACE CHANNEL WAS????????????????????/
I will never watch fox network again.Assholes they just pissed off a lot of gear head.why don’t they bother some other bullshit channel and leave speed alone stupid basterds
I will not watch any fox shows again. Bring back the old speed! Every time something good comes around some pencil pusher has to try to make it better or change it. Bring back speed!
The speed channel was one of the main reasons I got Direct TV. Taking it off the air is stupid. As soon as my contract expires I will be dropping Direct TV.
I agree with rick, there are more than enough football shows on tv, bring the racing sports back on speed.
if wanted to do away something they could have dumped
larry mac and dw…!!!
I DON’T LIKE UFC,WWF OR ANY OF THOSE OTHER NEANDERTAL GAMES. I want racing, TV is a wasteland as it is and now this channel sucks too.
