IMO USAC is not penalizing the drivers who do not race with them but rewarding the drivers who do. USAC went out and got extra sponsorship money for those loyal drivers.

Every driver still has a choice and can race wherever they choose.

Why should USAC give bonus money to a midget driver that will run a POWRi midget race the same night as a USAC midget race? Why should USAC give bonus money to a sprint driver that will run an open competition sprint race at Vernon the same night as a USAC sprint race at Eldora?

If a promoter wants a USAC show they should pay for a USAC show. Not just benefit because the USAC drivers are in the neighborhood the day before. This should help drivers in the long run by USAC being able to secure larger purses for its competitors.
