Just checking on the race length. If the leader did 56 sec laps and took no pit stops that would make for around 121.3 minutes. Throw in a couple of required pit stops and a pace lap and we are looking at least 124 minutes. That would make this the longest race, yet on on the shortest track. Sort of like Martinsville or Richmond ovals on a road course. Is this round intended to be more of an endurance race?

Length is correct.
