International Speedway Corp. (ISCA)

[big-yank]

#1. I am not complaining. I love the sport and made lots of $$$ on ISCA when it IPO'd. Sold at around $44 awhile back.

#2. When you are talking profits, you are looking back. I am looking forward. All those empty seats affect ISCA in a huge way because they bought up all those tracks from Penske and others so ISCA now hemorrhages when attendance declines. Look at the list. Michigan. Kentucky. Fontana. Louden. Watkins Glen. And on and on. NASCAR is not just Daytona ,Darlington or Talledega anymore.

The source of future NASCAR revenue is now dependent almost solely on the TV media stream. ABC/ESPN bailed. Now you have a future dependent on Fox (smaller relationship, less revenue) and NBC (terrible track record with prior NASCAR adventure... read Dick Ebberling's prior comments on stock car "debacle").

This sport needs new blood in leadership, especially with Helton retiring, and Joie Chitwood ain't the answer.
