Well, looks like me and everyone else on Direct tv won't be seeing the IRL...this is directly from direct tv;

Thanks for taking the time to write us. I see that you've been with DIRECTV for several years now. I'd like to let you know that we appreciate your business.

I understand that Versus is important to you. Rest assured that I've forwarded your comments and suggestions to the appropriate department for review.

Despite the negotiations that tool place, we were unable to reach agreement on a renewal. Comcast was demanding renewal terms that did not reflect market value for the channel, and they forced us to drop Versus unless we agreed to their unreasonable terms.

I feel bad for you. I for one am looking forward to World Challenge on Versus, in addition to their IRL coverage.

Actually Terry Angstadt said today on Race Reporters Radio show that the Versus and DirectTV issue will be resolved "soon", perhaps even Monday!

Check out DISH Network. Might even save you some cash.

TF is reporting that DirecTV and Versus are talking again and there is a chance Versus will be back on the air soon (Monday, allegedly).

I'll believe it when I see it, but I'm crossing my fingers.

Robin Miller in his Mailbag was saying he thought this was Randy Bernard's primary focus and that he was getting the lawyers involved.

Hoping it happened.

Talkin Terry has been spewing that line for months now.

He is not to be believed.
