Eric, I have never been to Indiana to shoot sprints but I expect you need something more than a request on a forum to obtain media access to Speed Week.

You should already be established as a media motorsports photographer. A relationship should already be established with a racing publication or major web presence. That media outlet should be who is requesting your credential access to the infield and pit areas at each track you wish to attend. Keep in mind that the Indiana Speed Week is a high demand event and it is not unusual even for established photographers to be denied credentials for this type of event.

If any of the tracks use the infield as the pit area, I expect you could purchase a pit pass and have nearly all access. I checked your website (http://www.dirtepics.com/home.html) and found it to be empty but you did have a few mentions at Fishers Sprint Car Pictorial from a few years ago (2007-2008). Is that the most recent motorsports you have covered?

As I said, I'm not from Indiana but you might need a good contact to obtain media access. Have you contacted FSC to see if Jim could help?
