The NASCAR channel is coming to cable and satellite within the next year or
so.

That'll never happen so long as the sponsors are pulling all the
strings.  It's in their interests to have their rolling billboards in

>I am lucky enough to get them all with my local cable company.

>Unfortunately, I do not get SpeedVision or ESPN Classic

If the only thing I'm missing is FX, then I guess I shouldn't complain.  I get
Speedvision and ESPN Classic, along with 2 of 3 Fox channels.

Well, that explains why I couldn't find either BGN race.  They must have been
on FX.  I have Fox(tv) and Fox Sports, but not FX.  Grrr...
