The limitations of video tape

Sadly, the taping of the Daytona 500 was stopped after TSN, which I mistakenly taped instead of Fox, moved on in their broadcast to other events while the second rain delay was in effect. Sadly, the point at which I would have simply stopped it and waited for it to resume, I was at work and could not do so. My father taped it, but I think he was likely not around to conserve tape. Therefore, I have been forced to consult Nascar's website to find out that Michael Waltrip took the lead from Jimmie Johnson just before the yellow from Ward Burton followed by the red flag for rain, and the race never came back on, giving Waltrip his 3rd win in 3 seasons, after going about 500 starts without a win. Dale Earnhardt Jr, never got his lap back, but it was still a win for DEI.
