@1 ... Fluid was on the track, they couldn't figure out where it came
from, and they burned a lot of laps under caution trying to figure it
out before eventually red-flagging it (It was rear end grease from the
#41).

Southern National is on the small side of 4/10's mile, too, so it's
pretty easy to eat up laps under caution.

So at one lap per car it should have taken 12 laps to identify the right
car...since one car was already out of the race.

Then should it have taken another 10 laps to clean it up?

So that caution period took all of, what, a half hour???

No, a 4/10 of a mile track the caution period took about 10-12 minutes.

NASCAR Whelen All-American Series champion Lee Pulliam makes his ProCup
debut and qualifies on the front row. His hopes of a good run were
dashed by mechanical problems.

@6 That would mean the pace car was travelling 48-50 mph. At most tracks
of a half mile and under the pace car paces the field at 25-35 mph. So
18-22 minutes...my bad. Still that is way too long for a fan to have to
sit through a caution period.

Just speaking from personal experience, most short track groups like
USAR, er, CARS, PASS, UARA use higher pace car speeds than NASCAR series
like K&N. I have no idea why that is or if it would actually make a
notable difference, that's just what I have always seen.

At one time the PASS Super Late Model series also used flag men at each
corner, even when the track had a light system.

Slower pace car speeds allow more time for commercials.
