They did the same thing with the ama supercross and motocross racing. Chopped the shows short with women's basketball, ran them at different times each week or didn't air them at all! People bombarded them with complaints and when the contract was up they dropped it.
The supercross races sell out the football stadiums they race in so you can't tell me it's not popular. The only people watching women's basketball are the family members of the players.
I think somebody over there doesn't like motorsports very much. I bet that drag racing will get dropped eventually and it will end up on Speed or someplace else.

Unfortunately, and it pains me to say this because I have been racing since 1964, it is getting tougher and tougher for me to care. I really have a problem in watching NHRA racing on TV, or even in person for that matter. The cars look alike, they run alike, and the drivers are all twenty something movie star look-a-likes who spend all their time rattling off their sponsors. Pro racing has no "character" anymore, and to me is boring. There is more effort on marketing than there is on racing. I'd rather watch the March Meet on 1320 TV to get a fuel fix, or watch Pinks All Out (not that stupid regular Pinks).
