International Speedway Corp. (ISCA)

[big-yank]

And so the 2013 season draws to a close with some highs, some lows and a whole host of questions for Daytona Speed Week in 2014.

For ISCA stock to rise, NASCAR racing must restore some relevancy and improved fan involvement. There were too many empty grandstands and poor TV Neilson's in 2013 for the status quo to persist. And for investor confidence to return, ISCA must disassociate the perceived patronage that seems to benefit the France and insider families, including the sub-chapter S kiddie awards, and start to function in an investor-focused fashion that benefits Wall Street and Main Street, not just Victory Lane and the beachfront estates of Jim, Brian, Lisa, Mike and on and on...

ISCA is LOADED with opportunities and NASCAR is also BURIED in sophomoric ventures that made for good sound bites but lousy investment choices, IMO.

I hope they get it right, or at least better in 2014. And good luck to Travis Pastrana, Jeff Burton, Sam Hornish, Ryan Newman, Martin Truex, Jr. and the many talented guys seeking a ride for next season. "Green, green!"
