The reason the midgets qualified slower in comparison to the sprint cars is that the sprintcars qualified first this year. When the track has grip you can put the power down. When I ran the midgets would qualify first, as the track slicked off times slowed down and the sprint and silvercrown cars would be slower, hence the closer the times were. When the track is slick I would think that the midgets were the fastest cars in the mains. Vehicle dynamics boys simple as that.
