Caution lap speeds are usually 65 mph or over. It's not a set in stone number, and is up to the discretion of the pace car driver.
Part of it is due to the physics of the track itself. The cars need to be going a given speed just to safely remain on some of the tracks with steep banks.
Just to give a comparison, the speed in pit road is 55 mph to the best of my knowledge.
