Last Friday, I saw in USA Today that 13 out of 26 "experts" predicted that Jimmie Johnson would win the Daytona 500. I don't think that anyone picked McMurray.

I couldn't find a channel that carried the last 39 laps so I missed the finish.

One of the reasons that they have so many laps under caution is to allow everyone to go in the pits to get gas and tires. There are 2 ways to make a caution shorter. Firstly, go back to green the second that the piece of debris has been picked up even if 30 or 40 cars are in the pits. Secondly, run the pace car flat out like they do in F1, none of this 55 mph crap. In other words make pitting under caution somewhat of a risk instead of a routine. I also agree that they should not count the laps under cautrion as has already been mentioned.
