Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 too heavy?

I'm upgrading from a nikon d300 to a d610 and I'm torn about buying it with the kit lens or buying body only and buying the 24-70 2.8. Obviously the 24-70 is the better performing lens, but I'll be travelling to the uk for the first time and I'm just worried the lens would be too heavy to cart around all day. Also, my hands aren't the steadiest and the 24-85 does have vr (for static subjects)

My only fx lens at the moment is the 50mm 1.8 and that isn't a good travel lens as it's not wide enough

Any thoughts?

Going to late model and sprint car racing pictures?

So I'm going to late model and sprint car racing and I was wondering if it would be appropriate to take pictures there? It'll be pretty dusty and stuff so I'll bring a cloth to clean the lens and stuff. But is the dust going to hurt my camera (nikon d60)? If it's fine what settings should I use? It'll be taking place from 7:00-11:00 pm and there will be lots of lights so should I stay on the action setting? ANY tips will help! Thanks!
