Nice, were you trackside or in the crowd? I was doing mostly video but took the Nikon out too.

Interesting weekend. At the photographers meetings, we were told to watch out for rattle snakes and copperheads and that someone had seen a 7 footer recently. Saturday, when I was talking to the woman that brought the crew to do the live footage of the race, she told me that one of the guys that ran the fiber optics for her crew was on the outside of the track and saw a few snakes.
Later in the day, that guy was close to us and showed photos he took of the rattlers he saw in the prior 2 days and that day. He had some photos on his phone... one a black timber rattler with a brown one, one trying to eat the dead squirrel he tossed to it, one with its head raised and a couple others. And those were just the ones he photographed.
One of the photographers said he won't even go to the outside of the track after seeing one on the track (outer edge).
There is nothing like the sound of a Porsche 911 RSR accelerating out of a corner and up a hill at 7,500 RPM (or Ford GT or Corvette C7R). Lots of heat distortion in the last one.

Yes and it's called a memory card, SDXC card or SD card. Most cameras will take 32-64 GB memory cards (aka SD or SDXC cards). If your camera is capable of recording video or you take fast action photos, the fastest cards are best.
A good example of a 64 GB fast SDXC card is an example of a fast card - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA12K6KF9945&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Memory+%28Flash+Memory%29-_-9SIA12K6KF9945&gclid=CjwKCAjwp7baBRBIEiwAPtjwxO-c-owr0fPKrTdTa_ZFEq0lzTeDqNdE-p8pHQDnR7lbArT9OpJukhoC6GYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
That card is also made in 32 GB - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA12K6KF9945&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Memory+%28Flash+Memory%29-_-9SIA12K6KF9945&gclid=CjwKCAjwp7baBRBIEiwAPtjwxO-c-owr0fPKrTdTa_ZFEq0lzTeDqNdE-p8pHQDnR7lbArT9OpJukhoC6GYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
If your Chromebook has USB ports you can use an SD card reader to import them into the Chromebook if it has enough available space (or, plug your camera into the usb port and imort them that way). If it doesn't, you could get an external hard drive to store your photos on and view on the Chromebook (there are external hard drives that can import photos from an SD/SDXC card or you'd have to import them into your Chromebook, then export them to the external drive).

Clouds and snow have similar issues. Any automated exposure tries to get the 18% gray white balance. Its been a long time since my last class or seminar, but I seem to remember that you should over expose 1 to 2 stops to get the white, without blowing out the details." Quote

If you find a super bright led flashlight, you might try shining it through a white cloth (or small umbrella used for diffusing flash) and see if it causes the light to be more like a flood light rather than a narrow spotlight.
