What would make more sense than “overtime”? Overlap? Overdrive?

Extra laps, maybe? That would make it consistent with baseball, anyway.

I mean… What would make the most sense would be for the race to be over when its predetermined distance has been completed.
No reason to make the race longer. If it ends under a yellow flag, it ends under a yellow flag. If they have to red flag it, resume at the distance they were at. I don’t see how this is complicated or controversial
Then again, the pure intentional chaos at the end of recent Daytona 500’s should have been nipped in the bud and not allowed in the first place
Next thing you know they’re going to add an extra hour on to the 24 hours of Le Mans because somebody crashed during the final hour. Or maybe we can add an extra stage to the Monaco rally if one stage is too muddy. I know let’s make the Baja 1000 an extra 60 miles long just in case somebody breaks an axle! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
but if they do want to add laps on (which still doesn’t make any damn sense) why not just call them “extra laps”
