Haha great story and photos! Did the banana trick work or could they jump over it? You came there to see crashes right? Couldn't you just request a press accreditation? At a lot of the normal events(not the big ones) they don't really check your background at all I realized over the last couple years. If I was in the photographers place, I'd probably take a chair as well, looks to me like his back must have hurt after the race

Some things don't add up here Anyway Top Gear had a nice part about Nascar and the culture around it last season. Season 18 episode 2 if you're interested.
