USAC rigged it. End of story.
I was under the impression that Stanbrough didn't get a provisional at Bloomington last year because both Hagen and Hockett, who did take provisionals, were ahead of him in the ISW points. I was also under the impression that DD did get to use a provisional at Haubstadt, along with Hagen again, because they were the top two in points that didn't advance via their heats.
