I got my answer. Attached is the text of an e mail from one of the teams. I did not ask permission to post his reply so I would rather not say who it is from.
"Hi Mike,
Always busy, especially at a race, but thought I'd get back to you right away. NHRA pit control people map out the entire pit area and tell us where to park. In the old days, you got lined up by points, but all the multi-car teams need to park next to each other (us included) so there are big blocks of pit space they have to work around. If you're a single car team out of the top ten, though, you're going to end up pitted in the least desirable spot in the pro pits.
It's kind of a mystery to us how they map it out, but we just do what they tell us..."
