Where's the NASCAR xfinity race?
It is SO wrong for AT&T u-verse not to show ALL the NASCAR races. Truck, xfinity, and sprint cars. It's a complete sport. What gives you (AT&T) the right to show only certain parts of it. I as a customer, do not get the option of only paying part of my bill. This is about money, don't you have enough customers, and charge enough money for services, to make a decent profit???? SHOW ALL THE RACES!!!

Only affects Nascar Infinity series, new programming to FS1 or any Fox channel.
Sprint Cup is on FS1 Sunday as it will not be affected as it's not new to a Fox channel, Fox Network stations paid for Sprint Cup, so it'll be on FS1. The Camping World Tuck series will not be affected either, had been on Speed (Fox owned) for years b4 it became FS1.
Although marketed as a relaunch of Speed, Fox Sports 1 was contractually considered a new channel—due to its change in scope from automotive and motorsports to mainstream sports, Fox was required to reach new deals with providers for them to carry the network.
At first, Fox sought a higher carriage fee as well, estimated at 80¢ per subscriber (more than triple the fee of 23¢ per subscriber that Speed had commanded; by comparison, ESPN pulls in fees of approximately $5.00 per subscriber, the most expensive fee of any pay television network).[11][17]
Concerns by providers over the increasing costs for cable and satellite services for their customers (largely believed to be partly due to the higher fees commanded by certain sports channels) resulted in Fox backing off charging the 80¢ per subscriber rate, instead charging the same 23¢ rate that those providers paid to carry Speed.[18][19]

It has been my experience that when a Huge entity like AT&T decides to play rediculous games and not pay the required fee that another Huge entity is asking. all that will happen is customers that have been Loyal and stayed with AT&T will give up on them and throw them out as trash, just Like AT&T is doing to it's customers. When the bill is due, AT&T sends out the notice right away, did AT&T send out any information that the Xfinity Nascar Programming would only be broadcast partily? I cannot find any information to affirm they did.

not sure if this has anything to do with this topic and maybe someone with a better idea can advise me but.....Maybe it has soimething to do with Xfinity being a competitor of att uverse. How come i have not heard anyone mention this. I know I switched from comcast xfinity to att uverse and now i think I will cancel my att due to this. Been watching nascar forever under Nationwide and now all of a sudden since its xfinity it dissappears. I call bullcrap.

Fox is not giving AT&T the feed with the Xfinity races in it because Fox decided to charge more for a special version of FS1 with the Xfinity series races (as well as some other newly acquired content, such as soccer). Talk to Fox about attemping to extort more money for a channel it was already providing by pulling a fast one.
