  It's a good lens but you have to think about vantage point.
Grand prix, depends on track layout. You might have a safety fence in the way.
Motocross, outdoor if you can find a place where people won't get in the way. Or if they have grand stand seating, you might be able to shoot from the stands. Supercross, may not be enough light because you might be too far away for a flash to reach. But you might be able to get them in the slow corners, or pan with them on the table top jumps.
Baseball, if you're close to the front, you could fill most of the frame with somebody at the plate. If you're in the outfield seats, you'll only be able to get a picture of whoever's in that part of the outfield.
