Racers will move around the qualifying sheet/ladder for several reasons.

-Move to avoid a heads-up with a faster car
-move to race a heads-up with a slower car
-qualify in the middle of the field.
Example: in a 66 car field, if you qualify #32 or 33, you will get one of the two bottom cars (65 and 66); cars that may be broken, over the Index, having problems, etc. Potential easy run. If you end up #34, you run #1 first round. Win, and you have the 2nd round bye, and, if you get there, the 6th round bye, the bye into the final.

Just a few examples of what can be gained by having a particular spot on the qual sheet/ladder.

P.S. What Larry Hill said, too.
