How important is qualifying in Stock and Super Stock

Fred Elsass · 09-29-2020, 12:01 PM

I have run an analysis on Stock and Super Stock for 2019 and the results are amazing.

What think you? Out of all the finals how many qualified 1-10.

30%

I guess less than 10%.

I’d imagine less than 7% with less than 5% for the last 10 qualifiers. Seems like more people are trying to get a little higher on the sheet.

I'd guess around 1 to 2% max.

in a 100 car race there it a random 10% chance for one to be in the finals.but two spots in the finals so it higher.say it a 50 car race now it a 20% chance for one car in the top 10 to make it.

I looked at 11 lodrs races in April/May 2019 for S/SS. 9 0f 22 spots in the finals are top 10. Thats 40.9%

The argument could be made that the attitude and dedication of the individuals have a lot to do with overall performance, including having a fast car (qualifying) and driving well (final rounds). I doubt if the qualifying position alone would have much to do with driving well enough to make it to the finals.

If you qualify 1/2/3 you have a good shot at a bye along the way
thru eliminations
