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!

First, USAC doesnt determine what tracks get sprint week dates(although I think they should) the promoters of the sprint week tracks determine who gets into their "club". I'm pretty sure USAC would like Put to have a sprintweek date. As far as the other tracks shutting down their local show if it opposes a sprintweek race, that has been a gentlemens agreement between those promoters.
