Or maybe more comparable: say a team is down seven or less in the last six minutes of the Super Bowl and, oh, the quarterback throws an interception that gets run back for a touchdown. But the score is wiped out AND the QB gets the ball back at the original line of scrimmage for two more chances not to throw a pick.
This.
There are games in MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL that end in blowouts. It happens. You don't see those leagues artificially adding extra time/innings at the end to create an exciting finish.
Sure, fans hate it when the race ends on yellow. But you know what? There are also times that the race ends with an exciting finish. And neither is contrived.
Adding laps because of a late caution is, in essence, fixing the race. Not fixing the winner. But fixing the honesty of the event.
