I believe a total of 150 racecars competed last night. They had (1) track rework after qualifying was complete. I know I said that no show should last more that 3-3.5 hrs, and I stand by that, BUT most normal shows don’t have 150 cars competing.

Back when Houston Raceway Park/Royal Purple Raceway was open, there were times when we would have a USMTS show with 75 or more modifieds and 50+ Limited Modifieds (both can be prone to long delays). Most times they took only 4 hours from hot laps to feature finishes. Of course the timing was determined by USMTS. Local drivers bitched about not getting a break. . . . and this was long before any televised or streamed events.
