They instituted the new plan which was to get down to four cars in most classes for Sunday.

One way to speed it up, you get 45 seconds or less (after the last two cars turn off the track) to light the pre stage. Potentially between 60 and 120 races per hour. Right now it's living up to its name, dragging on.
