Some people thought NBC’s Martinsville rain delay replay was live
It happened again.
Remember when people thought Jimmie Johnson won the Daytona when Fox replayed the 2013 race the following year in a rain delay? Well, there were some people on Twitter who apparently thought that NBC’s replay of the November 1 race at Martinsville was real again.
Sunday’s race at Phoenix has been delayed by rain. So NBC played the last part of the Martinsville race. Yes, it included the part when Matt Kenseth crashed Joey Logano.
Here’s what the Twittersphere had to say when the wreck was shown on NBC on Sunday. Some of these could be jokes. But if you’re on Twiter, you know that not everyone was joking. Hell, maybe no one was.
The above tweets are just a sampling. Jeff Gordon won at Martinsville and, of course, people thought he had won on Sunday too.
Maybe there will be live racing Sunday night. We can only hope. Or for maybe another replay of a race. It’d at least provide us some Twitter entertainment.
