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.

The number one qualifier going on to win is probably less than 1%. Top 10 in a 75 car field. Probably less than 5%. The folks that win normally save their combination for the race not qualifying.

A lot of winners qualify around the fold ...

I'm pretty sure Steve Wann has won from the number one spot at a Divisional race in the last few years.
