What I would like to see is the random qualifying order removed from NASCAR Qualifying and instead replace it by taking the Official last Race Results to determine the qualifying order.
Take the last race results as the qualifying order and any cars that did not qualify the previous week, qualify all of them at the end of the qualifying session. Usually starting 1st in a qualifying session run is not good because of track conditions and time of day. Using the Official last Race Results would be like a “handicap” for the better cars forcing them to qualify first and putting cars that did not qualify the previous week, the so called Go or Go Home cars, running qualifying at the end of the session where usually you would see better track conditions, so that smaller teams would have a better chance of making the race. I would still keep the first 35 cars in the standing are guaranty entry into the race.
Any other suggestions for qualifying rules? Or do you feel the current rules adequate…

more money, more cars
i agree that those who need to qualify on speed, qualify one right after another. the problem that has come up is there are more cars trying to qualify. before this year, who cared if morgan shepard went home? now it’s dale and michael, and NAPA and UPS. some of the larger tracks may be able to handle more than 43 cars. some teams may need to merge to make sure they are in the top 35… or should it be 25? the bottom line is no one wants to see dale, jr. go home because he blew a tire during qualifying, so there needs to be some type of guaranteed qualifiers.

Changes Need Made
There are a number of things that need tweaked with the qualifying process. Having the go/go homers qualify together is just the start.
