Pro Mod. Top Sportsman. Top Dragster. Top Stock.
As far as crate motors in NHRA, I'll use an analogy from Comp Eliminator. Over the past ten years, there have been many classes added to it (automatic classes, Nostalgia Dragster, Turbo classes, etc). People were even requestiong motorcycle classes and other nonsense. "I want a class made with this weight break...I want a class made with these rules....I want, I want, I want...". It seems that everytime NHRA would add classes to Comp, it would upset the apple cart and the new classes would beat up on everyone else.
Now, I'm not saying if Crates were added to NHRA, they'd take 18 of the top 20 qualifying spots. My point is, the general consensus of Comp racers is, "Build a car for a class--don't build a class for a car". NHRA doesn't need crate motor Stockers to be successful. If you want to run NHRA, build/buy a traditional Stocker. If you have a crate motor car and can not afford to build/buy a regular Stocker, there is still IHRA and many S/SS Associations (mine included) that allow IHRA cars.
