Sounds great in theory but w/o NASCRAP and their $$$$ how will they make a profit?Everything listed is very small market in terms of a fan base draw. Speedvision learned that lesson when they began.
Well, Speedvision got started without Nascar and covered all things fast (cars, boats, planes, etc) and combined all their small markets into one decent one, then Rupert Murdoch (News Corp) bought in Speedvision and slowly whored it out to expand Nascar coverage beyond Fox and make a 24 hour Nascar channel, which is pretty much all it is anymore.

Speed sucks, Nascar is boring, and I'd love a real auto-racing channel.

Can't answer the two choices given, since there's only one cable company where I am, and I don't get the selection of channels that I want from any of the dishes...

If they added it to my cable that would be nice, but I'm not going to go out of my way to get it.
