If I had spent the $150,000 that it takes to hit the index in my class you can be damn sure I would shut off to protect it. Not to mention not screw the others in my class less fortunate that an index hit would maybe be the difference for them to qualify or something down the road. Let us not forget some of these indexes are now vulnerable due to thoughtless rule changes in recent years. i.e. allowing canted valve heads in SS/CM and lower classes after decades of only allowing true wedge heads. In a class where you mostly have to dial in to win, now you have to have a comp car and don't shut off or some low buck DH will whine about you diving... this is sportsman racing, not everybody is rich, those with the big bucks or big mouths should go race the pro's.
