“Six teams will be forced to make the field on qualifying speed because they are not eligible for provisional starting spots. Richard Jackson’s No. 1 team has used all of their allotted provisionals and will not gain another one until the season’s final race in Atlanta, and only if they attempt to qualify for all the remaining races between now and then. Marcis(71), Wally Dallenbach(46) and the cars owned by Doug Bawel(77), Jim Wilson(78) and Joe Falk(91) are all out of the top-40 in car owner points and are not allowed to use provisionals to start the race. Ricky Craven has only one provisional remaining until the season’s end”(NASCAR Online), well the #1 is safely in the race with Morgan Shepherd, the #71 qualified 35th, #77 – 31st and the #78-37th. The #91 did not attempt the Dover race and is probably done for the 1997 season. Craven is safe also as he qualified 10th(9-19-97)
