Atlantic was one of the things bought 10 years ago with the CART IPO money.
The whole intention of the prize was to assist you moving up to champcar much like the old Barber Saab/Dodge series with the $100,000 career advancement prize.
The $2 million was never a $2 mil check to run off to the bahamas with or fund an irl ride with.
Atlantic website:
"PRIZE MONEY:

This marks the second consecutive season for the champion’s Champ Car bonus award. Total prize and bonus money for the 2007 Champ Car Atlantic Championship is over $3.7 million, making it among the richest open-wheel development series in North America."
