I will be attending the NASCAR truck series this weekend and will be shooting from about halfway up from the grandstands. I really would like to take my 70-200mm f2.8 lens to get as close to the action as I can (I have my doubts it will be long enough but it's all I have access to). My question is will the track security give me any problems taking this lens into the grandstands? The only other somewhat long lens I have is an 85mm f1.8. I've looked at the Chicagoland speedway website and can not find anything about camera gear restrictions. Would really appreciate some advice.

I'd call and ask guest relations - 815-722-5500

Your post title intrigued me, I was coming to the forums to see if anyone else was going to be there.
I'm going with an associate that shoots auto racing often, looking forward to the accessibility of media credentials!
I'll be there all three days.

I'll post some of my work after the weekend.
