          GOING FOR SPEED: Speedvision will team with Times
     Mirror Interzines to create an official Web site around the
     cable network.  Using content from the site formerly known
     as iRACE, the new site, at www.speedvision.com, will launch
     on Monday.  It will feature coverage of NASCAR, CART, the
     IRL, NHRA, as well as motorcycle coverage of the FIM, AMA,
     World Superbike and Arena series events.  Speedvision said

     features and aviation categories (Speedvision).
          WHAT'S HOT, WHAT'S NOT: The WALL STREET JOURNAL's David
     Sweet lists his "Hits and Misses" of sports on the Web. 
     Among his "Hits" are CBS SportsLine for "keeping the Michael
     Jordan Web site lively" despite his retirement. Among his
     "Misses" is MLB's Web site coverage of spring-training,
     because the front page featured "only one story" and a click
     on the spring-training graphic revealed one more story
     "posted four days earlier" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 3/24).
