On Wednesday night, NASCAR ran it's first national tour race on a dirt track since 1970, with the Truck Series Mudsummer Classic at Eldora Speedway. It was a memorable event that a lot of NASCAR fans were hoping to share on social media - until those who logged onto Twitter saw the results of a race they were watching on TV. Fox's Speed Channel, soon to become Fox Sports 1 next month, had chosen to tape delay their coverage without informing fans.
The decision came within a week of NASCAR announcing they would no longer allow aerial cameras such as CamCat, the system Fox was using until one of its cables broke at the World 600, causing damage to cars (including leader Kyle Busch) and injuring 10 fans.
