Try these sites

Check the town or city where the racetrack is located
to find the frequencies for the tracks owners, venders and local
police/fire/EMS.

And some NASCAR sites that may have frequencies:

some frequency information:

GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE MESSAGE BOARDS!
Look at the bottom of the frequency board for lots
of data bases through out the country and world!
Look up your local and the NASCAR track's frequencies to see if they
us trunking radio and/or APCO-25 DIGITAL radios

Another place to look is the air band for helicopters that bring
VIP's and drivers to the races and the air ambulance helicopter. Also
the military aircraft fly by at the start of the race
should show up, on the air band!
A check of

http://www.airnav.com

will turn up some tower, approach
and departure frequencies. LOOK FOR A HELIPAD! They will have to be
around thirty (30) to fifty (50) miles from your location to receive the
aircraft side
of the communications. To receive the ground side that would
be the TOWER, DPARTURE/APPROCH control, HELIPAD or the ground
side of the ARTCC stations remote transceivers, your location/receiver
has to be within
range, that's three (3) to ten (10) miles of an air band ground
station!.

Scroll down to the bottom of the" airnav" airport pages for your
airport, to see if any web links
for business at the airport, have air band frequencies listed..
You should be able to hear both sides of the air band VHF-AM
communications from any HELIPAD adjacent to the speedway!
They may use DISCONE antennas with there radios, which then send/receive
skyward.
Another consideration is bringing/using a radio scanner aboard airlines
and check out the thread at rec.radio.scanner regarding that.

http://www.fordyce.org/scanning/scanning_info/scan_fly.html

If you would lake to see a great BAND PLAN for the air band look at
New Users FAQ on strongsignals.net , go to =93Frequently Asked
Frequencies=94 go to the
bottom to see who's on what part of the band. This can help narrow down
a search to find unknown frequencies.

Two other New Users FAQ sections is "What's illegal" and" CTCSS & DCS
(aka PL & DPL)" NASCAR web sites also mention states that ban radio
scanners and/or require permits!

I really like the preprogrammed SERVICE SEARCH capabilities of the
UNIDEN=AE radio scanners.
They search at three hundred (300) steps a second and allow LOCK OUT of
unwanted frequencies during the search, it includes the civilian VHF
air band!
The UNIDEN=AE BC 250D has racing frequencies preprogrammed into the
SERVICE SEARCH and dose S.A.M.E. weather alert! It also covers the
Military UHF 220MHz-400 MHz air
band! It also has PL tone capability. Down load a manual at Uniden=AE we=
b
site and check it out.

Here's a vendor that supports racing radios

http://www.racingelectronics.com/

They may sell and download racing frequencies at the track,
possibly free for folks who purchase (Uniden=AE SC200 and there own
Racing Electronics RC 2000) radios, form them! The
SC 200 will search out PL/DPL tones. The RC 2000 can use PL/DPL tones
BUT WILL NOT SEARCH THEM OUT! You have to know them, another good reason
to have a vendor 'load'
racing frequencies,
IF THIS INCLUDES PL/DPL codes, into the radio at the track! NOTE
everything in the radio will be overwritten, you will loose
frequencies/PL when a down load is done,

Take along a list of frequencies for the track, police EMTs and
air band. Then after a vendor loads up the racing frequencies ,key your
list into another bank
(if they aren't already loaded) if something happens or when your
leaving, bring-punch up that custom bank in the scanner you have
loaded with local frequencies!

Another place to us a air band scanner is at air shows.
If you want to listen to the military air demonstration teams a UHF AM
capable radio is needed! And one that has independent selectable MODE
I.E. AM FM nFM. This really puts
you into the action!
Along with sunglasses, a folding chair and sun screen. Take along
Walkman headphones
and an extra set of batteries for the radio scanner and camera, one roll
of film should do, for NASCAR or air shows.

If you have a camcorder patch the scanner into the audio input
jack with a =93Y=94 splatter
so your able to listen with the head phones while recording the air show
performance. If the Camcorder audio has s monitor jack then run the
audio cable right into the camera while
listening via the headphones on the monitor circuit
Here is a schedule for air shows
http://www.aero-pix.com/schedule/sched2004dt.htm

And frequencieshttp://www.monitoringtimes.com/html/mtairshows.html


Check out the individual air show's web site to see if they ban radio
scanners and two-way radios!
If so, when you go to the show. keep the scanner in your vehicle, then
leave about an hour before the demonstration. Drive out of the show area
and listen to the air demonstration team
off base! This will give you a head start on traffic, some folks do this
at the stock car races also.
Have fun this summer and be safe!
