Just found this on the speedvision site, it looks like a lot of the "100%
NASCAR" fears were not well founded

The short version:

That current line-up seems to be the center of the debate. I would like to
outline the core programming we will carry in the way we have in the past,
have multi-year deals with or, in some cases, are adding to the line-up.
The notable exception is F1, as we are negotiation with them to continue our
relationship with them. We have put together a very attractive offer and are
doing everything we can to continue with F1. We feel confident we will move
forward with them:
F1, including qualifying and all current F1 events
Le Mans, ALMS
Le Mans 24 hour coverage
SCCA Trans Am
Grand AM
All of the current motorcycle event coverage will remain including:
FIM Grand Prix
World Superbike
AMA Superbike
Existing programming to remain as well:
Legends of Motorsports
Motorsport Mundial
Speedvision GT Championships
Barrret Jackson auto auction
Speed News
In addition we will now have:
NASCAR programming
CART, Qualifying and other events
Extended coverage of World Rally
ARCA live races
We also hope to have some very exciting news regarding additional motorcycle
programming soon.
