Not sure they'd bump a team for a prerookie, but space can generally be found somewhere along the line.

Basically, you'd reach out and say, "I'm a prerookie, do you have space?". If they didn't, they'd tell you.
There are lots of events that are on the hunt for pre-rookies and lots of teams have RobotDeux that they would be happy to lend (in most cases it comes with parts and pit advisers) I'm thinking of the fall NJ events and pretty sure that Rah Cha Cha Ruckus does too. Neither of which helps the OP in Atlanta, but I'm betting that the off season events there are the same.
