How to Shoot NASCAR Races? I'm fortunate to get trackside at several NASCAR and Motocross events. I'm an intermediate photographer who is used to photographing Bikini and Import Models. I need some quick hints on how to shoot the cars when they are driving by at 120mph. I have a few lenses but have found the best for this are my Canon 17-40L lens and my 100mm 1:2 EF lens. I'm thinking I should buy the Canon 70-200mm L lens. How should I do the settings on my Canon 10D? Right now, it is on AUTO.

I have pretty good success panning with the cars as they come by. Use Tv, and set 1/60 to 1/125 shutter speed. The closer you are to the track, the faster the shutter speed you'd use. Panning gives a good blur to the background and spinning tires, but the car will be pretty sharp. To freeze action (like a pass in the turn), set 1/500 or higher.
