Rain delays in Daytona have FOX scrambling. The station carved out a whole afternoon of programming, so rather than Andy Griffith Show reruns, it elected to replay last year’s race. That isn’t a problem, except it made the whole thing too darn confusing.
Daytona 500 replay convinces people it’s live
What happens when you’re watching a replay and you think it’s the real thing?
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Yep. Those are LAST year’s results. It’s OK, KTXS, it’s not like your network’s slogan prides itself on its accuracy or anything.
Okay, sorry we don’t mean to throw too much shade. It’s tough to stay on top of which race is which, or who’s winning the Great American Race. Don’t feel too bad KTXS, even the network airing the Daytona 500 was confused.

Finally, we’re not above the confusion either. Far be it for us to throw stones in glass houses, so we humbly give you this.
