Unfortunately, with cars and motors being almost equal, fast time can be more of a handicap than anything else.....
Take a look at the spread in qualifying times between the 24 or 32 fastest cars....it's gotten so close anymore, that it is almost impossible to pass....I do think that the Knoxville Nationals format, which fully inverts the heats, offers some of the best heat races in the country. But the points awarded for qualifying well can help overcome a poor heat race run...
And most of the faster car owners and drivers will tell you that a full invert is too tough on equipment, since you risk getting caught up in a "squirrel" wreck....and the odds of that wreck happening are higher with a full invert....
