Ultimately TV will make this call. Nascar will make a statement giving all the reasons that it is the only sensible thing to do.
But in my opinion since mechanical attrition is no longer a factor it is too long.
Nobody complained about the length of events until the current crop of drivers and cars came to the tracks.
No it is not too long of a race. NA$CAR needs to keep this traditional race where it is. There is a lot of things that can happen in 600 miles that are run in daylight and under the lights.
What they need to eventually eliminate the lapped cars going 30mph slower than the leaders. The 1 1/2 mile track will be fine with only 28-30 race cars.
