Maybe I'm just dumb and naive, but I thought the whole point of the Outlaws was to allow drivers to come and go and go as they please, for instance the Buckeye OUTLAW Sprint Series says it plainly in their rule book.
"In the true “outlaw” fashion, any driver from any series is welcome to run with BOSS as long as they meet the requirements in the following rules. Conversely, BOSS will NOT penalize drivers for participating in other events."

Well, like I said, JG seemed to be surprised the track was using this rule to get T-Mac into the field and he didn't mention anything about there being more than one provisional available to the regulars. If I remember, it may have even held up the start while this was being ironed out.

Yes they have raced for a lot more, it was called the Eldora Million. I think it paid $125,000.00 to win.

I was just reading an article about the Mopar Million and you are correct. The Wild Child made 200,000 with the victory, and it paid 10,000 to just start. 138 cars showed up.

As Johnny explained it, there is a rule that if WoO is running on your track on your regular 410 night, the track can allow a provisional for one of its drivers, he seemed surprised that this was in the rules and mentioned he'd not seen a track ever use this provisional....
I thought it was that if an Outlaw team took a provisional than a local could take a provisional. If all of the Outlaws made the show, then no locals could take a provisional. Like was said earlier, there have been Provisionals in WOO for years. You see it come in to play in the sprint car hot beds. I just think that it was always a one for one situation. If Johnny Gibson was confused, it had to be a one off situation. He has been with them for a very long time.
