Probably unpopular opinion, but not enough laps.

On a fast track 30 laps is over VERY quick without yellows. A guy that gets a clean run from the get go, and has no major issues with traffic can stay gone. 50 lappers would open races up IMO. But then die-hards say it isn't a sprint race anymore, and teams would demand more $$ to race extra laps.

But being a late model guy from birth that loves to come and watch USAC races, longer races could really shake things up.

(Late model races being won from the front row in 60 lap features is a entirely different thread; but valid point if any of you were already thinking it. But other reasons lead to that)
