I don't understand why a track should "shut down" on a regular night just because there is a Sprint Week show that night at another track? Believe it or not, there are alot of local sprint car drivers and teams that do not want to or can't affortd to run USAC shows and would still like to race during Sprint Week. Why should the racing world stop for Sprint Week? I think Mr. Spiker was fair to the folks that race at his place each week and provided them an alternative to USAC. Not everyone is a devote USAC fan and participant!
