LOL at the people that thought replay was live

[MRM]

I couldn't help but laugh at all the people on Twitter who thought yesterday's replay was live. Even some of the drivers were poking fun at those people by joking that Jimmie Johnson had already won the "first" race.

Confession: I was at work yesterday. During my break, I saw "the race" on TV.

50 to go: Kenseth's blew up from the lead? Damn, just like last year. Bless his heart.
48 to go: Now Kyle Bu...wait a second....

So I was one of those people, but only for about 5 minutes.

lol people? What about an entire network? I saw on Twitter that FOX posted that Jimmie won, and then covered it up by trying to be funny.

It would be somewhat understandable if the race wasn't being broadcasted on FOX

@JimmieJohnson
I hear I won the #Daytona500? Haha! I also have friends confused and texting congratulations to me. #2013Replay






I took a nap during that and woke up and saw all this and just laughed and laughed

If we have a rain delay next year, I hope Fox shows the '79 Daytona 500. I look forward to Fox News congratulating Richard Petty on his 8th Daytona 500 victory.

Big green ticker across the bottom of the screen. Huge tip off.

My wife, when I switched back over to Fox around 8:30 exclaims, "I already know who won."

I took a little nap and when I woke up I thought the race was back on. But then they said something about Juan Pablo

Apparently Kevin Harvick made amends with Childress and the 3 car never existed

I forgot to mention them too.

Here's the Fox screwup

Even DW took a shot at FOX and those people who didn't know it was a replay.

I'm just glad Mark Martin decided to come back for another season.

 

[Old Firefighter]

Anyone who had ANY idea what was going on should have caught that fact right away. Different drivers/sponsors/numbers don't give it away? Just a bunch of super casual fans, but when FOX News fell for it as well shows how lame they are.

Local (Chicago) sports talk radio were making fun of NASCAR fans for thinking the replay was this year's race. I think it was mostly casual viewers. Also, lots of noise about Daytona being "cursed" because of the recent notable occurrences (JPM, pothole bondo, etc.). Pretty funny.
