Thank you for the explanation! That's really helpful and makes a lot of sense. Ending a race under caution would be so anticlimactic. Extending it makes more sense. I had always thought that races could end up caution but maybe that's for different leagues like F1 or something.

NASCAR used to be able to end under caution but fans didn’t enjoy that so they changed it quite a few years ago.

And they're not enjoying that either lol. NASCAR fans will never be happy.

Pretty sure NASCAR is the only pro race series that does this. All others can end under caution like you were thinking.
