SPEED Channel or SPEED, is a cable and satellite television network broadcast to various parts of North America, but primarily the United States. The network, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, currently broadcasts mostly automotive-related programming.
Programming includes live Formula One racing, NASCAR-related shows, how-to programming, auto-related movies such as The Fast and the Furious, auto shows, less-popular racing series, a weekly news show, call-in shows, and reality shows. Bobsledding, luge, and skeleton events were shown during the winter months (especially since 1986 Daytona 500 champion Geoff Bodine began his support of the FIBT events, including a fund-raiser with automobile racing stars) until 2007-08 when Universal Sports took over. SPEED is also the exclusive United States broadcaster of the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Petit Le Mans, the NASCAR Sprint Cup All-Star Race, the Gatorade Duels at Daytona & the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
