Some recent sample Nitro Jam qualifying sheets.

There is no dominance of crate motor cars at a national level. There are more at the top on a divisional level and the region does have a lot to do with it. But it still boils down to "racing" and the regular Stockers don't have to worry about heads-up with the crates anyway. (Unlike the new cars, like Mike mentioned.) There are only so many cars that are fast enough to be #1 and it's not usually a crate.
