crank length and bike weight in track sprinting

two questions

why do track sprinters generally use shorter crank lengths while road sprinters generally prefer a longer crank length?

my understanding is that track sprinters value aero and stiffness over weight. it's not uncommon for them to weigh 20 lbs, is that right? is weight really that insignificant?
