I believe the best course of action would have been to red flag the race and have another standing re-start. That would have given all cars opportunity for new tires, evened the playing field, and left as many laps of racing possible. Now, those re-starts at ends of races can create even more incidents, but I think you need to try to keep the competition decided on the track as much as possible.

In Nascar they generally don't red flag the race for a caution at the end (they will if it looks like the cleanup will take a long time and then stop the cars on the track to preserve fuel)

If caution after the leader starts the final lap and then there is a caution flag the race is over, but final placing is the order when they cross the finish line for that lap, so if the leader can and does complete the lap they win, if they cannot (crash damage, run out of gas etc) then someone else wins

If caution with less than two laps they will restart after the caution period ends and run two laps, green-white-checkered (and if there are  additional cautions after the first restart they will try two more restarts).
