Most likely to lighten the load on admins. All the other calculations are just time consuming. In the overall points a simple * could designate a rookie and have them find this information on their own.
1) which team will score most points? Ferrari
2) will pole sitter win the race? No
3) who wins the race? Alonso
4) number of cars finish? 20
5) will williams score points? no
6) who gets the fastest lap? Massa
Bonus) first driver to finish lap down? Gutierrez
Fuel should be fine for at least 100 laps or so, think in perspective to how far they could go at Martinsville, and then add about 10%. I think it is because there is so many unknowns they don't want a 100 lap dash or something like that. The event is going to take most of the day (Q, heats, LCQ), and then a 100 lap dash could take 40 minutes including 5 cautions (Just looked up some WoOLMS). Most features are 35, 50, 75, and (less often) 100 lap races. NASCAR doesn't want a main race to last less than one hour, as they want to put on a "show" like normal.
What I don't understand, is will they reward efforts in the first two segments? Or will the last segment be the only one to matter?

After race, @JebBurtonRacing went to apologize to Ron Hornaday. Hornaday smiled and refused to talk to Jeb. #NASCAR @NASCARonSPEED
Most of our drivers just don't have the desire to race in the big team events anymore. Single driver events you still may see us around, but there isn't enough desire to continue to run big team races. Even I had to drive GT1WS, that's just over the line.
In other words, has nothing to do with this topic.
The logic here is clueless, really. You make the initial mistake in causing an avoidable incident when pinning someone against the wall. Why does he have to lift? You call it a racing incident because it was an accident on your part? That doesn't make much sense. Contact can be made on accident, yet it should/may be penalized because it caused harm to your opponent. Your excuse after the race was "I saw one of you behind me, so I thought I was clear". This logic seems rather flawed since there are two of us, therefore if one is behind you, the other one is surely beside you. A simple look would prevent this.
The penalty with 14 isn't much different. He forced the issue, caused an avoidable incident, and dampened an opponent's race. Sounds similar.
