Class eliminations are usually run on the first day of an event as part of qualifying. The first round of class elims. counts as a qualifying run. In the case of a 3 day event (Fri.-Sun.), class elims. are run on Fri.; at a 4 day event (Thurs.-Sun.), they are run on Thurs. Indy is a 6 day event (Weds.-Mon.), so Stock class elims are on Thurs., and Super Stock class elims are on Fri.
Winning class has nothing to do with qualifying for final elims. Even at Indy, qualifying is strictly against the index. It used to be class winners and low qualifiers against the index would make up the qualified field for final elims., but the NHRA changed it a few years ago.
