I agree that there is a ton of nascar coverage on Speed, if you take the time to look through their programming, there is a lot of other stuff on too. I watch most of the F1 races, the previously mentioned SCCA runoffs, a lot of american le mans series, the australian supercar series, and monster jam in the mornings with my son - among several other shows.
Obviously a national network can't cater to exactly what a few complete diehard drag racing or road racing guys want to see 24 / 7, as they have to pay their bills. Even if NASCAR's overall popularity is down from what it was a few years ago, it's still hugely popular and it's where the greatest majority of advertising dollars are spent in this country.
Here's a list of all the racing series that Speed covers:
* AMA Superbike
* AMA Supercross
* American Le Mans Series (some races shown on local channels)
* ARCA RE/MAX Series
* MSA British Touring Car Championship (1 hour broadcasts in winter)
* FIM Superbike World Championship
* Championship Off Road Racing
* Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge
* FIA Formula One World Championship (4 races per year on Fox)
* Formula D
* German Touring Car Championship (1 hour broadcasts in winter)
* GP2 Series
* IHRA
* Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series
* Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series
* Monster Jam
* FIM MotoGP World Championship
* NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
* NASCAR Nationwide Series
* NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (Gatorade Duels at Daytona & Sprint All-Star Race)
* Porsche Racing Series
* Rolex Sports Car Series
* Star Mazda Series
* V8 Supercar Series (Australia)- shown spring to summer in the northern hemisphere
* Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup
* World of Outlaws
