If you finish in the top four in your heat, you transfer to the feature. Feature lineup is mostly based on qualification time. Haud had a slower qualifying time so he starts near the back. The fastest 6 qualifiers that make it through their heats start in the top 6 of the feature. Fastest starts 6th. 2nd fastest starts 5th. Chase was fast qualifier, but didn't finish in the top 4 in his heat, so he could not start in the top 6. He did transfer through the B, and since he was the fastest qualifier that didn't transfer through the heat, he will start 7th.
