International Speedway Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

May 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information but do not include all of the information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. The balance sheet at November 30, 2013, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the latest annual report on Form 10-K for International Speedway Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “ISC”). In management’s opinion, the statements include all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Certain prior year amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Because of the seasonal concentration of racing events, the results of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, are not indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The objective of this Update is to set requirements for presentation for significant items reclassified to net income in their entirety during the period and for items not reclassified to net income in their entirety during the period. For public entities, the amended requirements are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. This statement only impacts disclosures of reclassification adjustments and is not material to the Company's financial statement presentation. The Company has adopted the amendments of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

In May 2014, FASB, in conjunction with the International Accounting Standards Board, issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The objective of this Update is to significantly enhance comparability and clarify principles of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. For a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

3. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

4. Equity and Other Investments

Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway

Kansas Entertainment, LLC, (“Kansas Entertainment”) a 50/50 joint venture of Penn Hollywood Kansas, Inc. (“Penn”), a subsidiary of Penn National Gaming, Inc. and Kansas Speedway Development Corporation (“KSDC”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC, operates the Hollywood-themed casino and branded destination entertainment facility, overlooking turn two at Kansas Speedway. Penn is the managing member of Kansas Entertainment and is responsible for the operations of the casino.

The Company has accounted for Kansas Entertainment as an equity investment in its financial statements as of May 31, 2013 and 2014. The Company's 50.0 percent portion of Kansas Entertainment’s net income is approximately $3.2 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and approximately $4.3 million and $4.4 million for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and is included in income from equity investments in its consolidated statements of operations. Included in the net income amount for three and six months ended May 31, 2013 is approximately $0.6 million related to a one-time property tax refund. There was no comparable income during the same periods of fiscal 2014.

Per the Development Agreement with the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas (“Unified Government”), the casino is subject to a 1.0 percent of gross gaming revenue penalty if it had not commenced construction on an adjacent hotel by the second anniversary of its opening, which was February 2014. In May 2014, the deadline for the commencement of construction extended until October 2014. Subsequently, in June 2014, the Unified Government approved a further extension of the construction commencement date. The purpose of this extension is to give the Unified Government time to complete a feasibility analysis for a new convention center that could be integrated with the hotel. If the Unified Government formally resolves to develop a convention center to be integrated with the proposed hotel, then Kansas Entertainment and the Unified Government will mutually agree on a new groundbreaking date. If the Unified Government decides not to proceed with the integrated development, then Kansas Entertainment will have 100 days after the Unified Government’s notification of its decision, subject to any additional time taking into account that groundbreaking cannot realistically occur during winter conditions, to commence construction prior to the enforcement of the aforementioned penalty.

The final decision to move forward with the proposed hotel will be market-based and approved by Kansas Entertainment’s board. Should Kansas Entertainment ultimately not build the hotel it will be subject to the penalty from the second anniversary of its opening forward. Accordingly, beginning February 2014, Kansas Entertainment began recording expense equal to 1.0 percent of gross gaming revenue since it did not proceed with construction of a hotel by the original deadline. Included in the Company's income from equity investment amounts for three and six months ended May 31, 2014 is approximately $0.2 million expense related to this penalty.

Distributions from Kansas Entertainment, for the six months ended May 31, 2014, totaling $10.0 million, consists of approximately $5.0 million received as a distribution from its profits, and is included in net cash provided by operating activities on the Company's statement of cash flows, and the remaining approximately $5.0 million received, was recognized as a return of capital from investing activities on the Company's statement of cash flows. Distributions from Kansas Entertainment, for the six months ended May 31, 2013, totaling $9.5 million, consists of approximately $4.8 million received as a distribution from its profits, and is included in net cash provided by operating activities on the Company's statement of cash flows, and the remaining approximate $4.7 million received, was recognized as a return of capital from investing activities on the Company's statement of cash flows.

10

Subsequent to May 31, 2014, the Company received an additional distribution of approximately $5.5 million.

Staten Island Property

On August 5, 2013, the Company announced that it sold its 676 acre parcel of property located in Staten Island, New York, to Staten Island Marine Development, LLC (“Marine Development”). Marine Development purchased 100 percent of the outstanding equity membership interests of 380 Development LLC (“380 Development”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC and owner of the Staten Island property, for a total sales price of $80.0 million. In addition, the Company previously received approximately $4.2 million for an option provided to the purchaser that is nonrefundable and does not apply to the $80.0 million sales price.

The Company received $7.5 million, less closing and other administrative costs, of the sales price at closing. The remaining sales price was financed with the Company holding a secured mortgage interest in 380 Development as well as the underlying property. The mortgage balance bears interest at an annual rate of 7.0 percent. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company received approximately $6.1 million plus interest on this mortgage balance in February 2014, and will receive the remaining purchase price of $66.4 million, due March 5, 2016. Interest on the latter mortgage balance will be paid 12 months after closing and then quarterly, in arrears. Based on the level of Marine Development's initial investment at closing and continuing investment, the Company has accounted for the transaction using the cost recovery method and has deferred the recognition of profit of approximately $1.9 million, and interest totaling approximately $0.7 million at May 31, 2014, until the carrying amount of the property is recovered, which will not be until the final payment is made.

As a result of the sale, the Company expects to receive a cash tax benefit of approximately $41.9 million, based on its current corporate tax rate. This cash tax benefit, when combined with the net proceeds from the sale total approximately $118.0 million in incremental cash flow as a result of the sale.

Motorsports Authentics

Prior to January 31, 2014, the Company was partners with Speedway Motorsports, Inc. ("SMI") in a 50/50 joint venture, SMISC, LLC, which, through its wholly owned subsidiary Motorsports Authentics, LLC conducts business under the name Motorsports Authentics (“MA”). MA designs, promotes, markets and distributes motorsports licensed merchandise. On January 31, 2014, SMI abandoned its interest and rights in SMISC, LLC, consequently bringing the Company's ownership to 100.0 percent. MA's operations are included in the Company's consolidated operations subsequent to the date of SMI's abandonment. Prior to January 31, 2014, MA was accounted for as an equity investment in the Company's financial statements.

As a result of SMI's abandonment of their interest in SMISC, LLC, the Company recorded other income of approximately $5.4 million, representing the fair value of MA, over the carrying value, as of January 31, 2014. The fair value was based on a discounted cash flow analysis using level 3 inputs. Most of the fair value represents the value of MA's working capital and the fair value was not sensitive to assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis.

In addition, the Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $1.8 million, representing the benefit associated with various operating loss carryforwards of MA that are expected to be realized in its consolidated tax filings in the future. MA's operating income contribution, subsequent to consolidation, was immaterial, and is included in the Motorsports Event segment.

Prior to the SMI abandonment of SMISC, LLC, no equity income was recognized in prior periods, by the Company, as MA operated at breakeven.

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	May 31, 2013		May 31, 2014		May 31, 2013		May 31, 2014
Interest expense	$	4,142	$	4,125	$	8,296	$	8,238
Less: capitalized interest	263		1,422		455		2,402
Net interest expense	$	3,879	$	2,703	$	7,841	$	5,836

Financing costs of approximately $4.4 million and $4.1 million, net of accumulated amortization, have been deferred and are included in other assets at November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2014, respectively. These costs are being amortized on a straight-line method, which approximates the effective yield method, over the life of the related financing.

7. Financial Instruments

Various inputs are considered when determining the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities which approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

At May 31, 2014, the Company had money market funds totaling approximately $62.7 million which are included in cash and cash equivalents in its consolidated balance sheets. All inputs used to determine fair value are considered level 1 inputs.

Fair values of long-term debt are based on quoted market prices at the date of measurement. The Company’s credit facilities approximate fair value as they bear interest rates that approximate market. These inputs used to determine fair value are considered level 2 inputs. The fair value of the remaining long-term debt, as determined by quotes from financial institutions, was approximately $293.0 million compared to the carrying amount of approximately $274.5 million and approximately $297.9 million compared to the carrying amount of approximately $274.2 million at November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2014, respectively.

The Company had no financial instruments that used level 3 inputs as of May 31, 2014.

8. Capital Stock

Annual Dividends

The Company paid an annual dividend of $0.24 per share, on June 30, 2014, to common stockholders of record on May 31, 2014. The Company paid an annual dividend of $0.22 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

In May 2014, the Company awarded and issued a total of 91,076 restricted shares of the Company’s Class A common shares to certain officers and managers under the Company’s Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The shares of restricted stock awarded in May 2014, vest at the rate of 50.0 percent on the third anniversary of the award date and the remaining 50.0 percent on the fifth anniversary of the award date. The weighted average grant date fair value of these restricted share awards was $31.44 per share. In accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” the Company is recognizing stock-based compensation on these restricted shares awarded on the accelerated method over the requisite service period.

10. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is the changes in equity of an enterprise except those resulting from shareholder transactions. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the following (in thousands):

	November 30, 2013		May 31, 2014
Terminated interest rate swap, net of tax benefit of $3,025 and $2,812, respectively	$	4,638	$	4,310

11. Income Taxes

Certain state adjustments, including adjustments to uncertain state tax positions, are the principal causes of the decreased effective tax rate for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013. As a result of these items, the Company's effective income tax rate is approximately 38.4 percent and 38.7 percent for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, respectively. Certain state tax adjustments were the principal reason for the decreased effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2014. The tax treatment related to the other income recognized as a result of SMI's abandonment of their interest in SMISC, LLC on January 31, 2014, along with the related tax benefit of approximately $1.8 million, representing the benefit associated with various operating loss carryforwards of MA, combined with the aforementioned state income tax adjustments, are the principal causes of the decreased effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014. As a result of these items, the Company's effective income tax rate is approximately 38.3 percent and 32.3 percent for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively.

12. Related Party Disclosures and Transactions

All of the racing events that take place during the Company’s fiscal year are sanctioned by various racing organizations such as the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association, the American Motorcyclist Association, the Automobile Racing Club of America, the American Sportbike Racing Association — Championship Cup Series, the Federation Internationale de L’Automobile, the Federation Internationale Motocycliste, International Motor Sports Association (“IMSA”), Historic Sportscar Racing, IndyCar Series, National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (“NASCAR”), National Hot Rod Association, the Porsche Club of America, the Sports Car Club of America, the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association, the United States Auto Club and the World Karting Association. NASCAR, which sanctions many of the Company’s principal racing events, is a member of the France Family Group which controls approximately 72.0 percent of the combined voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company, as of November 30, 2013, and some members of which serve as directors and officers of the Company. Standard NASCAR sanction agreements require racetrack operators to pay sanction fees and prize and point fund monies for each sanctioned event conducted. The prize and point fund monies are distributed by NASCAR to participants in the events. Prize and point fund monies paid by the Company to NASCAR for disbursement to competitors, which are exclusive of NASCAR sanction fees, totaled approximately $41.5 million and $42.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and $64.7 million and $65.9 million for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Under current agreements, NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series schedules. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series event as a component of its sanction fees. The promoter records 90.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as revenue and then records 25.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as part of its awards to the competitors. Ultimately, the promoter retains 65.0 percent of the net cash proceeds from the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event. The Company’s television broadcast and ancillary rights fees received from NASCAR for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Camping World Truck series events conducted at its wholly owned facilities, and recorded as part of motorsports related revenue, were approximately $92.3 million and $96.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and $149.7 million and $154.1 million for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

In October 2002, the Unified Government issued subordinate sales tax special obligation revenue bonds (“2002 STAR Bonds”) totaling approximately $6.3 million to reimburse the Company for certain construction already completed on the second phase of the Kansas Speedway project and to fund certain additional construction. The 2002 STAR Bonds, which require annual debt service payments and are due December 1, 2022, will be retired with state and local taxes generated within the speedway’s boundaries and are not the Company’s obligation. KSC has agreed to guarantee the payment of principal and any required premium and interest on the 2002 STAR Bonds. At May 31, 2014, the Unified Government had approximately $1.4 million outstanding on 2002 STAR Bonds. Under a keepwell agreement, the Company has agreed to provide financial assistance to KSC, if necessary, to support KSC’s guarantee of the 2002 STAR Bonds.

In connection with the Company’s automobile and workers’ compensation insurance coverages and certain construction contracts, the Company has standby letter of credit agreements in favor of third parties totaling approximately $4.0 million at May 31, 2014. At May 31, 2014, there were no amounts drawn on the standby letters of credit.

DAYTONA Rising: Reimagining an American Icon

The Company is currently redeveloping the frontstretch of Daytona International Speedway ("Daytona"), the Company's 55-year-old flagship motorsports facility, to enhance the event experience for its fans, marketing partners, broadcasters and the motorsports industry. The redevelopment of Daytona has been branded DAYTONA Rising.

The Company currently anticipates DAYTONA Rising to cost between $375.0 million to $400.0 million, excluding capitalized interest. The Company expects to fund DAYTONA Rising from cash on hand, cash from its operations, and may use borrowings on its credit facility for a limited period of time. In June 2014, a bill was signed in Florida establishing a process by which sports franchises are able to apply to receive sales tax refunds based on the amount of sales tax generated by their facility. The Company's DAYTONA Rising project is among the eligible applicants and the new bill could potentially provide additional capital for the DAYTONA Rising project.

Total spending incurred for DAYTONA Rising was approximately $35.8 million and $65.2 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively. Based on the Company's current expectations of DAYTONA Rising, it has identified existing assets that are expected to be impacted by the redevelopment and that those assets will require accelerated depreciation or losses on asset retirements, totaling approximately $50.0 million over the approximate 26-month project time span. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, the Company recognized accelerated depreciation and losses on disposal of assets totaling approximately $3.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

As part of DAYTONA Rising, the Company entered into a Design-Build Agreement with Barton Malow Company (“Barton Malow”), which obligates it to pay Barton Malow approximately $316.0 million for the completion of the work described in the Design-Build Agreement. The amount is a stipulated sum to be paid for the work, which may not change unless the Company requests a change in the scope of work. The Design-Build Agreement contains certain provisions and representations usual and customary for agreements of this type, including, among others, provisions regarding liquidated damages to be assessed for work that is not completed according to the agreed upon schedule, provisions regarding payment schedules, and provisions regarding bonding and liability insurance policies applicable to the work. In addition, the Design-Build Agreement contains customary provisions regarding termination, review and inspection of the work, warranties and the use of subcontractors.

Current Litigation

The Company is from time to time a party to routine litigation incidental to its business. Management does not believe that the resolution of any or all of such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

14. Segment Reporting

The general nature of the Company’s business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise, furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. The Company’s motorsports event operations consist principally of racing events at its major motorsports entertainment facilities. The reporting units within the motorsports segment portfolio are reviewed together as the nature of the products and services, the production processes used, the type or class of customer using our products and services, and the methods used to distribute our products or provide their services are consistent in objectives and principles, and predominately uniform and centralized throughout the Company. The Company’s remaining business units, which are comprised of the radio network production and syndication of numerous racing events and programs, certain souvenir merchandising operations not associated with the promotion of motorsports events at the Company’s facilities, construction management services, leasing operations, and financing and licensing operations are included in the “All Other” segment. The Company evaluates financial performance of the business units on operating profit after allocation of corporate

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

General

The general nature of our business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise, furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. We derive revenues primarily from (i) admissions to motorsports events and motorsports themed amusement activities held at our facilities, (ii) revenue generated in conjunction with or as a result of motorsports events and motorsports themed amusement activities conducted at our facilities, and (iii) catering, concession and merchandising services during or as a result of these events and amusement activities.

“Admissions, net” revenue includes ticket sales for all of our racing events and other motorsports activities and amusements, net of any applicable taxes.

“Motorsports related” revenue primarily includes television and ancillary media rights fees, promotion and sponsorship fees, hospitality rentals (including luxury suites, chalets and the hospitality portion of club seating), advertising revenues, royalties from licenses of our trademarks, parking and camping revenues, and track rental fees.

“Food, beverage and merchandise” revenue includes revenues from concession stands, direct sales of souvenirs, hospitality catering, programs and other merchandise and fees paid by third party vendors for the right to occupy space to sell souvenirs and concessions at our motorsports entertainment facilities.

Direct expenses include (i) prize and point fund monies and National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing’s (“NASCAR”) sanction fees, (ii) motorsports related expenses, which include labor, advertising, costs of competition paid to sanctioning bodies other than NASCAR and other expenses associated with the promotion of all of our motorsports events and activities, and (iii) food, beverage and merchandise expenses, consisting primarily of labor and costs of goods sold.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While our estimates and assumptions are based on conditions existing at and trends leading up to the time the estimates and assumptions are made, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. We continually review our accounting policies, how they are applied and how they are reported and disclosed in the financial statements.

The following is a summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates and how they are applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. We consolidate all entities we control by ownership of a majority voting interest and variable interest entities for which we have the power to direct activities and the obligation to absorb losses. Our judgment in determining if we consolidate a variable interest entity includes assessing which party, if any, has the power and benefits. Therefore, we evaluate which activities most significantly affect the variable interest entities economic performance and determine whether we, or another party, have the power to direct these activities.

We apply the equity method of accounting for our investments in joint ventures and other investees whenever we can exert significant influence on the investee but do not have effective control over the investee. Our consolidated net income includes our share of the net earnings or losses from these investees. Our judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investee includes considering factors such as our ownership interest, board representation and policy making decisions. We periodically evaluate these equity investments for potential impairment where a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary. We eliminate all significant intercompany transactions from financial results.

Revenue Recognition. Advance ticket sales and event-related revenues for future events are deferred until earned, which is generally once the events are conducted. The recognition of event-related expenses is matched with the recognition of event-related revenues.

NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series schedules. Event promoters share in the television rights fees in accordance with the provision of the sanction agreement for each NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series event. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR Sprint Cup,

19

Nationwide and Camping World Truck series event as a component of its sanction fees. The promoter records 90.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as revenue and then records 25.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as part of its awards to the competitors. Ultimately, the promoter retains 65.0 percent of the net cash proceeds from the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event.

Our revenues from marketing partnerships are paid in accordance with negotiated contracts, with the identities of partners and the terms of sponsorship changing from time to time. Some of our marketing partnership agreements are for multiple facilities and/or events and include multiple specified elements, such as tickets, hospitality chalets, suites, display space and signage for each included event. The allocation of such marketing partnership revenues between the multiple elements, events and facilities is based on relative selling price. The sponsorship revenue allocated to an event is recognized when the event is conducted.

Revenues and related costs from the sale of merchandise to retail customers, internet sales and direct sales to dealers are recognized at the time of sale.

Business Combinations. All business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method. Whether net assets or common stock is acquired, fair values are determined and assigned to the purchased assets and assumed liabilities of the acquired entity. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over fair value of the net assets acquired (including recognized intangibles) is recorded as goodwill. Business combinations involving existing motorsports entertainment facilities commonly result in a significant portion of the purchase price being allocated to the fair value of the contract-based intangible asset associated with long-term relationships manifest in the sanction agreements with sanctioning bodies, such as NASCAR and the International Motor Sports Association series. The continuity of sanction agreements with these bodies has historically enabled the facility operator to host motorsports events year after year. While individual sanction agreements may be of terms as short as one year, a significant portion of the purchase price in excess of the fair value of acquired tangible assets is commonly paid to acquire anticipated future cash flows from events promoted pursuant to these agreements which are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and therefore, in accordance with ASC 805-50, “Business Combinations,” are recorded as indefinite-lived intangible assets recognized apart from goodwill.

Capitalization and Depreciation Policies. Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization for financial statement purposes are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When we construct assets, we capitalize costs of the project, including, but not limited to, certain pre-acquisition costs, permitting costs, fees paid to architects and contractors, certain costs of our design and construction subsidiary, property taxes and interest.

We must make estimates and assumptions when accounting for capital expenditures. Whether an expenditure is considered an operating expense or a capital asset is a matter of judgment. When constructing or purchasing assets, we must determine whether existing assets are being replaced or otherwise impaired, which also is a matter of judgment. Our depreciation expense for financial statement purposes is highly dependent on the assumptions we make about our assets’ estimated useful lives. We determine the estimated useful lives based upon our experience with similar assets, industry, legal and regulatory factors, and our expectations of the usage of the asset. Whenever events or circumstances occur which change the estimated useful life of an asset, we account for the change prospectively.

Interest costs associated with major development and construction projects are capitalized as part of the cost of the project. Interest is typically capitalized on amounts expended using the weighted-average cost of our outstanding borrowings, since we typically do not borrow funds directly related to a development or construction project. We capitalize interest on a project when development or construction activities begin, and cease when such activities are substantially complete or are suspended for more than a brief period.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Our consolidated balance sheets include significant amounts of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets which could be subject to impairment. As of May 31, 2014, goodwill and other intangible assets and property and equipment accounts for approximately $1.6 billion, or 76.5 percent of our total assets. We account for our goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,” and for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.”

We follow applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets which specifies, among other things, non-amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and requires testing for possible impairment, either upon the occurrence of an impairment indicator or at least annually. We complete our annual testing in our fiscal fourth quarter, based on assumptions regarding our future business outlook and expected future discounted cash flows attributable to such assets (using the fair value assessment provision of applicable authoritative guidance), supported by quoted market prices or comparable transactions where available or applicable.

While we continue to review and analyze many factors that can impact our business prospects in the future (as further described in “Risk Factors”), our analysis is subjective and is based on conditions existing at, and trends leading up to, the time

20

the estimates and assumptions are made. Different conditions or assumptions, or changes in cash flows or profitability, if significant, could have a material adverse effect on the outcome of the impairment evaluation and our future condition or results of operations. The adverse economic trends of the most recent recession, which impacted credit availability, consumer confidence and unemployment levels, contributed to the decrease in attendance related, as well as corporate partner, revenues for certain of our motorsports events. Despite this, we believe there has been no significant change in the long-term fundamentals of our ongoing motorsports event business. We believe our present operational and cash flow outlook further support our conclusion.

In connection with our fiscal 2013 assessment of goodwill and intangible assets for possible impairment we used the methodology described above. We believe our methods used to determine fair value and evaluate possible impairment were appropriate, relevant, and represent methods customarily available and used for such purposes. Our latest annual assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 indicated there had been no impairment and the fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value for the respective reporting units.

In addition, our growth strategy includes investing in certain joint venture opportunities. In these equity investments we exert significant influence on the investee but do not have effective control over the investee, which adds an additional element of risk that can adversely impact our financial position and results of operations. The carrying value of our equity investments was $129.7 million at May 31, 2014.

Income Taxes. The tax law requires that certain items be included in our tax return at different times than when these items are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses not deductible on our tax return. However, some differences reverse over time, such as depreciation expense, and these temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Our estimates of deferred income taxes and the significant items giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect our assessment of actual future taxes to be paid on items reflected in our financial statements, giving consideration to both timing and probability of realization. Actual income taxes could vary significantly from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law or changes or adjustments resulting from final review of our tax returns by taxing authorities, which could also adversely impact our cash flow.

In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with the requirements of ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this guidance, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50.0 percent likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Although we believe the estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different than what is reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on the income tax provision and operating results in the period in which such determination is made.

Contingent Liabilities. Our determination of the treatment of contingent liabilities in the financial statements is based on our view of the expected outcome of the applicable contingency. In the ordinary course of business, we consult with legal counsel on matters related to litigation and other experts both within and outside our Company. We accrue a liability if the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable. We disclose the matter but do not accrue a liability if the likelihood of an adverse outcome is reasonably possible and an estimate of loss is not determinable. Legal and other costs incurred in conjunction with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Equity and Other Investments

Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway

Kansas Entertainment, LLC, (“Kansas Entertainment”) a 50/50 joint venture of Penn Hollywood Kansas, Inc. (“Penn”), a subsidiary of Penn National Gaming, Inc. and Kansas Speedway Development Corporation (“KSDC”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC, operates the Hollywood-themed casino and branded destination entertainment facility, overlooking turn two at Kansas Speedway. Penn is the managing member of Kansas Entertainment and is responsible for the operations of the casino.

We have accounted for Kansas Entertainment as an equity investment in our financial statements as of May 31, 2013 and 2014. Our 50.0 percent portion of Kansas Entertainment’s net income is approximately $3.2 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and $4.3 million and $4.4 million for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and is included in income from equity investments in our consolidated statements of operations. Included in our income from equity investment amounts for three and six months ended May 31, 2013 is approximately $0.6

21

million related to a one-time property tax refund. There was no comparable income during the same periods of fiscal 2014. Per the Development Agreement with the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas (“Unified Government”), the casino is subject to a 1.0 percent of gross gaming revenue penalty if it had not commenced construction on an adjacent hotel by the second anniversary of its opening, which was February 2014. In May 2014, the deadline for the commencement of construction was extended until October 2014. Subsequently, in June 2014, the Unified Government approved a further extension of the construction commencement date. The purpose of this extension is to give the Unified Government time to complete a feasibility analysis for a new convention center that could be integrated with the hotel. If the Unified Government formally resolves to develop a convention center to be integrated with the proposed hotel, then Kansas Entertainment and the Unified Government will mutually agree on a new groundbreaking date. If the Unified Government decides not to proceed with the integrated development, then Kansas Entertainment will have 100 days after the Unified Government’s notification of its decision, subject to any additional time taking into account that groundbreaking cannot realistically occur during winter conditions, to commence construction prior to the enforcement of the aforementioned penalty.

The final decision to move forward with the proposed hotel will be market-based and approved by Kansas Entertainment’s board. Should Kansas Entertainment ultimately not build the hotel it will be subject to the penalty from the second anniversary of its opening forward. Accordingly, beginning February 2014, Kansas Entertainment began recording expense equal to 1.0 percent of gross gaming revenue since it did not proceed with construction of a hotel by the original deadline. Included in our income from equity investment amounts for three and six months ended May 31, 2014 is approximately $0.2 million expense related to this penalty.

Distributions from Kansas Entertainment, for the six months ended May 31, 2014, totaling $10.0 million, consists of approximately $5.0 million received as a distribution from its profits, and is included in net cash provided by operating activities on our statement of cash flows, with the remaining approximately $5.0 million received recognized as a return of capital from investing activities. Distributions from Kansas Entertainment, for the six months ended May 31, 2013, totaling $9.5 million, consists of approximately $4.8 million received as a distribution from its profits, and is included in net cash provided by operating activities on the Company's statement of cash flows, with the remaining approximate $4.7 million received recognized as a return of capital from investing activities.

Subsequent to May 31, 2014, we received an additional distribution of approximately $5.5 million.

Motorsports Authentics

Prior to January 31, 2014, the Company was a partner with Speedway Motorsports, Inc. ("SMI") in a 50/50 joint venture, SMISC, LLC, which, through its wholly owned subsidiary Motorsports Authentics, LLC conducts business under the name Motorsports Authentics (“MA”). MA designs, promotes, markets and distributes motorsports licensed merchandise. On January 31, 2014, SMI abandoned its interest and rights in SMISC, LLC, consequently bringing the Company's ownership to 100.0 percent. MA's operations are included in the Company's consolidated operations subsequent to the date of SMI's abandonment. Prior to January 31, 2014, MA was accounted for as an equity investment in the Company's financial statements.

As a result of SMI's abandonment of their interest in SMISC, LLC, we recorded other income of approximately $5.4 million, representing the fair value of MA, over the carrying value, as of January 31, 2014. In addition, we recognized a tax benefit of approximately $1.8 million, representing the benefit associated with various operating loss carryforwards of MA that are expected to be realized in its consolidated tax filings in the future. MA's operating income contribution, subsequent to consolidation, was immaterial.

Prior to the SMI abandonment of SMISC, LLC, we did not recognize any equity income in prior periods, as MA operated at breakeven.

Staten Island Property

On August 5, 2013, we announced that we sold our 676 acre parcel of property located in Staten Island, New York, to Staten Island Marine Development, LLC (“Marine Development”). Marine Development purchased 100 percent of the outstanding equity membership interests of 380 Development LLC (“380 Development”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC and owner of the Staten Island property, for a total sales price of $80.0 million. In addition, we previously received approximately $4.2 million for an option provided to the purchaser that is nonrefundable and does not apply to the $80.0 million sales price.

We received $7.5 million, less closing and other administrative costs, of the sales price at closing. The remaining sales price was financed with us holding a secured mortgage interest in 380 Development as well as the underlying property. The mortgage balance bears interest at an annual rate of 7.0 percent. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, we received approximately $6.1 million plus interest on this mortgage balance in February 2014, and we will receive the remaining purchase price of $66.4 million, due March 5, 2016. Interest on the latter mortgage balance will be paid 12 months after closing and then quarterly, in arrears. Based on the level of Marine Development's initial investment at closing and continuing investment, we have accounted for the transaction using the cost recovery method and has deferred the recognition of profit of

22

approximately $1.9 million, and interest totaling approximately $0.7 million at May 31, 2014, until the carrying amount of the property is recovered, which will not be until the final payment is made.

As a result of the sale, we expect to receive a cash tax benefit of approximately $41.9 million, based on our current corporate tax rate. This cash tax benefit, when combined with the net proceeds from the sale total approximately $118.0 million in incremental cash flow as a result of the sale.

Income Taxes

Certain state adjustments, including adjustments to uncertain state tax positions, are the principal causes of the decreased effective tax rate for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013. As a result of these items, our effective income tax rate is approximately 38.4 percent and 38.7 percent for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, respectively. Certain state tax adjustments were the principal reason for the decreased effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2014. The tax treatment related to the other income recognized as a result of SMI's abandonment of their interest in SMISC, LLC on January 31, 2014, along with the related tax benefit of approximately $1.8 million, representing the benefit associated with various operating loss carryforwards of MA, combined with the aforementioned state income tax adjustments, are the principal causes of the decreased effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014. As a result of these items, our effective income tax rate is approximately 38.3 percent and 32.3 percent for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively.

Future Trends in Operating Results

International Speedway Corporation is the leading owner of major motorsports entertainment facilities and promoter of motorsports-themed entertainment activities in the United States. We compete for discretionary spending and leisure time with many other entertainment alternatives and are subject to factors that generally affect the recreation, leisure and sports industry, including general economic conditions. Our operations are also sensitive to factors that affect corporate budgets. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, employment levels, business conditions, interest and taxation rates, relative commodity prices, and changes in consumer tastes and spending habits.

The unprecedented adverse economic trends, which significantly impacted consumer confidence and disproportionately affected different demographics of our target customers, have influenced the frequency with which guests attended our major motorsports entertainment events. Recurring uncertainty in regional economic conditions and further weakening in the economy may adversely impact attendance levels, guest spending levels, and our ability to secure corporate marketing partnerships in the future. Reductions in any of these categories can directly and negatively affect revenues and profitability. Beginning in 2009 we mitigated the decline of certain revenue categories with sustainable cost containment initiatives. Beginning in 2012, we re-instituted regular merit pay increases to more normalized levels. Certain non-controllable costs, such as NASCAR sanction fees, have increased this year and we may continue to experience incremental increases. While we are sustaining the significant cost reductions previously implemented, we do not expect further significant cost reductions.

Looking ahead, we expect to benefit from the continuing, albeit uneven, recovery in the overall U.S. economy, which we anticipate will improve attendance-related and corporate partnership revenues. Our industry will further benefit from NASCAR having recently secured its broadcast rights through the 2024 season with the largest broadcast rights deal in the sport's 65-year history. Broadcast rights represent our largest revenue segment and having this contracted revenue will provide us unparalleled long-term cash flow visibility. Also we believe the initiatives we and the motorsports industry are undertaking to grow the sport will ensure the long-term health of our Company.

Admissions

Achieving event sellouts and creating excess demand are crucial to the optimal performance of our major motorsports facilities that host NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events. An important component of our operating strategy has been our long-standing practice of focusing on supply and demand when evaluating ticket pricing and adjusting capacity at our facilities. By effectively managing both ticket prices and seating capacity, we have historically shown the ability to stimulate ticket renewals and advance ticket sales.

Advance ticket sales result in earlier cash flow and reduce the potential negative impact of actual, as well as forecasted, inclement weather. With any ticketing initiative, we first examine our ticket pricing structure for each segmented area within our major motorsports entertainment facilities to ensure prices are on target with market demand. When determined necessary, we adjust ticket pricing. We believe our ticket pricing is consistent with current demand, providing attractive price points for all income levels.

It is important that we maintain the integrity of our ticket pricing model by ensuring our customers who purchase tickets during the renewal period get preferential pricing. We do not adjust pricing downward inside of the sales cycle to avoid rewarding last-minute ticket buyers by discounting tickets. Further, we closely monitor and manage the availability of promotional tickets. All of these factors could have a detrimental effect on our ticket pricing model and long-term value of our business. We believe it is

23

more important to encourage advance ticket sales and maintain price integrity to achieve long-term growth than to capture short-term incremental revenue at the expense of our customers who purchased tickets during the renewal period. We continue to implement innovative ticket pricing strategies whereby prices increase over time as well as price increases week of/day of races to capture incremental revenues.

Adjusting seating capacity is another strategy to promote sellouts, create excess demand and in turn increase capacity utilization at our major motorsports facilities. Over the past few years, we have reduced capacity at our major motorsports facilities. A significant portion of the capacity reduction was a result of providing improved fan amenities such as wider seating and creating social zones that provide greater engagement for our guests, while removing sections that do not provide adequate sight lines. Based on experience and the evolution of modern sports facilities, ticket demand depends, in part, on creating a more personal experience for the fans. Enhancing the live event experience is a critical strategy for our future growth. Other benefits of creating stronger fan engagement that may come from capacity management include improved pricing power for our events; increasing tickets sold in the renewal cycle; increasing customer retention; driving attendance to our lead-in events, such as NASCAR's Nationwide and Camping World Truck series events; driving stronger interest from corporate sponsors; and a more visually compelling event for the television audience.

Other areas of focus to build fan engagement include providing enhanced audio and visual experiences, additional concession and merchandise points-of-sale, more social zones and greater social connectivity. We will continue to monitor market demand and sports entertainment best-in-class amenities, which could further impact how we manage capacity and spend capital at our major motorsports facilities.

The industry and its stakeholders are committed to growing the sport and have aligned with NASCAR as it executes its five-year Industry Action Plan (“IAP”) to connect with existing fans, as well as engage Gen Y, youth and multicultural consumers in motorsports. Additional areas of focus within the IAP, supported by all stakeholders to enhance the appeal of NASCAR racing, include building product relevance, cultivating driver star power, growing social media activities and enhancing the event experience. NASCAR has introduced several on track innovations such as the Gen 6 Car design, new qualifying formats and enhancements to the Chase for the Championship that are direct results of IAP initiatives.

As part of the IAP, NASCAR and FOX Deportes, the number one U.S. Latino Sports network, joined together to provide the sport's most expansive Spanish-language broadcast offering with coverage of 15 Sprint Cup Series races, including for the first time, a Spanish-language broadcast of the 2013 Daytona 500. For the 2014 season through Michigan, Hispanic viewership for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is up over 14.0 percent, building on growth from the 2013 season that saw a 40.0 percent increase in that demographic.

We are supporting the IAP on a number of fronts. As referenced above, we are committed to improving our major motorsports facilities to create stronger fan engagement. In particular and one of the most important projects in our history is the redevelopment of the frontstretch of Daytona, the Company's 55-year-old flagship motorsports facility, to enhance the event experience for our fans, marketing partners, broadcasters and the motorsports industry (See "DAYTONA Rising: Reimagining an American Icon"). We are confident that elevating the experience at the most important motorsports facility in North America will grow the Daytona 500 brand, our 12 other major motorsports facilities' brands and NASCAR's brand. And, ultimately it will positively influence attendance trends as well as corporate involvement in the sport and the long-term strength of future broadcast media rights revenues

Corporate Partnerships

The number of Fortune 500 companies invested in NASCAR remains higher than any other sport. Nearly one-in-four Fortune 500 companies use NASCAR as part of their marketing mix. For the second consecutive year, the number of Fortune 500 companies involved in NASCAR for 2013 increased; and is an eight percent improvement over 2008.

We believe that our presence in key metropolitan statistical areas, year-round event schedule, impressive portfolio of major motorsports events and attractive fan demographics are beneficial as we continue to pursue renewal and expansion of existing corporate marketing partnerships and establish new corporate relationships.

From an entitlement perspective, for fiscal 2014, we currently have all of our NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event entitlements sold and only one of our NASCAR Nationwide Series event entitlements open, with approximately 94.0 percent of corporate partnership revenue target for the year contracted, and expect to achieve 97.0 percent to 98.0 percent by the end of the year, which is comparable to previous years. In addition, we recently announced that Ford Motor Company has extended its Ford Championship Weekend partnership with our Homestead-Miami Speedway for five years with an option to renew for an additional five years.

Television Broadcast and Ancillary Media Rights

24

Domestic broadcast and ancillary media rights fees revenues are ISC's largest revenue source, accounting for approximately 47.7 percent of 2013 total revenues. Starting in 2007, NASCAR entered into combined eight-year agreements with FOX, ABC/ESPN, TNT and SPEED for the domestic broadcast and related rights for its three national touring series - Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck. The agreements total approximately $4.5 billion over the eight-year period from 2007 through 2014, representing an approximate $560.0 million gross average annual rights fee for the industry. The industry rights fees were approximately $605.0 million for fiscal 2013, and will be approximately $630.0 million for 2014.

For the 2014 season through Michigan, NASCAR Sprint Cup events continue to be among the top 2 sports on television for 12 of the 14 weekends in which races have been aired, averaging 6.5 million viewers tuned in per event. For the 2013 season, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events ranked among the top 2 sports of the weekend on television 22 out of 36 point event weekends with an average of 5.8 million viewers tuned into each NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event resulting in nearly 70 million unique viewers of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. In addition, the NASCAR Nationwide Series ranked as the second-highest rated motorsports series on television with over 32 million unique viewers during the 2013 season. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series was the third-highest rated motorsports series on cable television behind NASCAR Sprint Cup and NASCAR Nationwide series.

In August 2013, NASCAR finalized multi-platform broadcast rights agreements with NBCUniversal (“NBC”) and Fox Sports Group (“FOX”) for 10 years, beginning in 2015 through the 2024 season, for the broadcast and related rights for NASCAR's three national touring series. Financial terms were not disclosed but leading industry sources value the combined agreements at approximately $8.2 billion over the 10 years. The agreements include Spanish-language rights and 'TV Everywhere rights', which will allow NASCAR content to stream over the broadcaster's-affiliated websites.

FOX has exclusive rights to the first 16 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point races beginning each year with the prestigious Daytona 500. In addition, FOX retains the rights to the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, The Sprint Unlimited, Budweiser Duel, 14 NASCAR Nationwide Series events and the entire NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. NBC has exclusive rights to the final 20 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points races, final 19 NASCAR Nationwide Series events, select NASCAR Regional & Touring Series events and other live content beginning in 2015. In total, NASCAR will have the same number of Sprint Cup races on network television, 16; 9 on FOX and 7 on NBC; as it does in the current television package.

NASCAR's solid ratings as well as other factors such as the strong demand for live broadcasting and the proliferation of digital video recorders (“DVR”) and on-demand content were significant factors for NASCAR signing the largest broadcast rights deal in the sport's 66-year history. According to Nielsen (March 2014), nearly half (49.1 percent) of homes with a television have a DVR growing from 42 percent in 2011 and 33 percent in 2009.

In August 2013, FOX debuted its 24-hour Fox Sports 1 network to compete with ESPN. Fox Sports 1 is available in approximately 90.1 million TV households. In addition to NASCAR (beginning in 2015), Fox Sports 1 has new or renewed deals for Major League Baseball, college football and basketball, Ultimate Fighting Championship as well as other sports. Fox Sports 1 represents the latest in the long migration of marquee sports from broadcast TV to cable/satellite, who generally can support a higher investment due to subscriber fees that are not available to traditional networks. In early 2014, the network performed exceptionally well broadcasting the events leading up to the Daytona 500.

NBC Sports Network is in approximately 79.1 million homes, and in addition to NASCAR (beginning in 2015) serves sports fans by airing coverage of the Olympic Games and Trials as well as the National Hockey League (NHL), Major League Soccer (MLS), IndyCar Series, Tour de France, major college football and basketball, and horse racing surrounding the Triple Crown, among other events.

Domestic broadcast rights fees provide significant cash flow visibility to us, race teams and NASCAR over the contract term. Television broadcast rights fees received from NASCAR for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series events conducted at our wholly owned facilities under these agreements, and recorded as part of motorsports related revenue, were approximately $92.1 million and $96.0 million for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and approximately $147.7 million and $153.9 million for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Operating income generated by these media rights were approximately $67.1 million and $69.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and approximately $109.2 million and $111.9 million for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

As media rights revenues fluctuate so do the variable costs tied to the percentage of broadcast rights fees required to be paid to competitors as part of NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series sanction agreements. NASCAR prize and point fund monies, as well as sanction fees (“NASCAR direct expenses”), are outlined in the sanction agreement for each event and are negotiated in advance of an event. As previously discussed, included in these NASCAR direct expenses are amounts equal to 25.0 percent of the gross domestic television broadcast rights fees allocated to our NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series events, as part of prize and point fund money (See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Revenue Recognition”). These annually negotiated contractual amounts paid to NASCAR contribute to the

25

support and growth of the sport of NASCAR stock car racing through payments to the teams and sanction fees paid to NASCAR. As such, we do not expect these costs to materially decrease in the future as a percentage of admissions and motorsports related income.

Sanctioning Bodies

Our success has been, and is expected to remain, dependent on maintaining good working relationships with the organizations that sanction events at our facilities, particularly with NASCAR, whose sanctioned events at our wholly owned facilities accounted for approximately 90.6 percent of our revenues in fiscal 2013. NASCAR continues to entertain and discuss proposals from track operators regarding potential realignment of their portfolio of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series dates to more geographically diverse and potentially more desirable markets where there may be greater demand, resulting in an opportunity for increased revenues to the track operators. We believe that realignments have provided, and will continue to provide, incremental net positive revenue and earnings as well as further enhance the sport's exposure in highly desirable markets, which we believe benefits the sport's fans, teams, sponsors and television broadcast partners as well as promoters.

Capital Improvements

Enhancing the live event experience for our guests is a critical strategy for our future growth. We compete for the consumers' discretionary dollar with other entertainment options such as concerts and other major sporting events not just motorsports events. We remain convinced that our focus on driving incremental earnings by improving the fan experience will, in time, lead to increased ticket sales with better pricing power, growth in sponsorship and hospitality sales, better prospects for continued growth in broadcast media rights fees agreements, and greater potential to capture market share.

Today's consumer wants improved traffic flow, comfortable and wider seating, clean and available facilities, more points of sale, enhanced audio and visual engagement, social zones and greater connectivity. Providing these enhancements often requires capital spending. We also anticipate modest capital spending on other projects for maintenance, safety and regulatory requirements. We are confident that by delivering memorable guest experiences, along with attractive pricing and fantastic racing, we will generate increased revenues as well as bottom-line results.

While we focus on allocating our capital to generate returns in excess of our cost of capital, certain of our capital improvement investments may not provide immediate, directly traceable near term positive returns on invested capital but over the longer term will better enable us to effectively compete with other entertainment venues for consumer and corporate spending.

We recently announced that we are redeveloping the frontstretch of Daytona, the Company's 55-year-old flagship motorsports facility, to enhance the event experience for our fans, marketing partners, broadcasters and the motorsports industry. It is vital that we continue to elevate our Daytona brand to ensure that it remains the pinnacle of motorsports facilities, which will generate further profitability and cash flow to the Company. The redevelopment of Daytona has been branded DAYTONA Rising (See "DAYTONA Rising: Reimagining an American Icon").

Growth Strategies

Our growth strategies also include exploring ways to grow our businesses through acquisitions and external developments that offer attractive financial returns. This has been demonstrated through our joint venture to develop and operate a Hollywood-themed casino and branded entertainment destination facility overlooking turn two at Kansas Speedway. Increased visibility on property taxes for the existing facility has led Kansas Entertainment to consider the next phase of development, a Hollywood Casino Hotel (see "Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway").

Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway provided positive cash flow to us and included positive equity income in our consolidated statement of operations for fiscal 2012 and 2013. We expect, for our 2014 fiscal year, that our share of the cash flow from the casino's operations will be approximately $20.0 million.

We entered in to a 50/50 joint venture with Atlanta-based Jacoby Development, Inc. (“Jacoby”) to develop a mixed-use and entertainment destination located directly across from the legendary Daytona International Speedway. This potential landmark development, named ONE DAYTONA, encompasses 189 acres ISC already owns. The conceptual design for the first phase of ONE DAYTONA includes 1.1 million square feet of world-class shopping, fine dining, hotel, theater and other entertainment. Bass Pro Shops®, America's most popular outdoor store, and Cobb Theatres, the highly respected Southeastern-based exhibitor, have executed leases to anchor ONE DAYTONA. The joint venture is in active discussions with other potential anchor tenants for ONE DAYTONA (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources - ONE DAYTONA”). 

We remain interested in pursuing further ancillary developments at certain of our other motorsports facilities.

Postponement and/or Cancellation of Major Motorsports Events

We promote outdoor motorsports entertainment events. Weather conditions affect sales of, among other things, tickets, food, drinks and merchandise at these events. Poor weather conditions prior to an event, or even the forecast of poor weather

26

conditions, could have a negative impact on us, particularly for walk-up ticket sales to events which are not sold out in advance, as well as renewals for the following year. If an event scheduled for one of our facilities is delayed or postponed because of weather or other reasons such as, for example, the general postponement of all major sporting events in the United States following the September 11, 2001 terrorism attacks, we could incur increased expenses associated with conducting the rescheduled event, as well as possible decreased revenues from tickets, food, drinks and merchandise at the rescheduled event. If such an event is canceled, we would incur the expenses associated with preparing to conduct the event as well as losing the revenues, including any live broadcast revenues, associated with the event.

Seasonality and Quarterly Results

We derive most of our income from a limited number of NASCAR-sanctioned races. As a result, our business has been, and is expected to remain, highly seasonal based on the timing of major racing events. Future schedule changes as determined by NASCAR or other sanctioning bodies, as well as the acquisition of additional, or divestiture of existing, motorsports entertainment facilities could impact the timing of our major events in comparison to prior or future periods. Because of the seasonal concentration of racing events, the results of operations for the six month periods ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, are not indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

The following financial information is presented below using other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”), and is reconciled to comparable information presented using GAAP. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share below are derived by adjusting amounts determined in accordance with GAAP for certain items presented in the accompanying selected operating statement data, net of taxes.

We believe such non-GAAP information is useful and meaningful, and is used by investors to assess our core operations, which consist of the ongoing promotion of racing events at our major motorsports entertainment facilities. Such non-GAAP information identifies and separately displays and adjusts for items that are not considered to be reflective of our continuing core operations at our motorsports entertainment facilities. We believe that such non-GAAP information improves the comparability of the operating results and provides a better understanding of the performance of our core operations for the periods presented. We use this non-GAAP information to analyze the current performance and trends and make decisions regarding future ongoing operations. This non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or diluted earnings per share, which are determined in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered independent of or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Comparability of results for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014 to the same periods in fiscal 2013 was impacted by the following:

• On January 31, 2014, SMI abandoned its interest and rights in MA, consequently bringing our ownership of MA to 100.0 percent. MA's operations are included in our consolidated operations subsequent to the date of SMI's abandonment. Prior to January 31, 2014, MA was accounted for as an equity investment in our financial statements. As a result of SMI's abandonment of their interest in MA, we recorded other income of approximately $5.4 million representing the fair value of MA, over the carrying value, as of January 31, 2014. In addition we recognized a tax benefit of approximately $1.8 million (see “Equity and Other Investments”);

• During the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, we expensed approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million, or $0.01 and $0.03 per diluted share, respectively, of certain ongoing carrying costs related to our Staten Island property. There were no comparable costs in the same period of fiscal 2014;

• During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we recognized a charge relating to a legal judgment of litigation involving certain ancillary facility operations of approximately $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. There was no comparable event in the same period of fiscal 2014;

• During the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, we recognized approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million, or less than $0.01 and $0.01 per diluted share, respectively, in marketing and consulting costs that are included in general and administrative expense related to DAYTONA Rising. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, we

29

recognized approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million, or $0.01 and $0.01 per diluted share, respectively, of similar costs;

• During the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, we recognized approximately $3.0 million and $6.0 million, or $0.04 and $0.08 per diluted share, respectively, of accelerated depreciation that was recorded due to shortening the service lives of certain assets associated with DAYTONA Rising. There were no comparable amounts in the same period of fiscal 2013;

• During the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, we recognized approximately $1.2 million and $3.4 million, or $0.02 and $0.05 per diluted share, respectively, of losses primarily attributable to demolition and/or asset relocation costs in connection with DAYTONA Rising and capacity management initiatives. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, we recognized approximately $0.7 million and $2.3 million, or $0.01 and $0.03 per diluted share, respectively, of losses associated with asset retirements primarily attributable to the removal of assets not fully depreciated in connection with certain capital improvements; and

• During the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, we capitalized approximately $1.4 million and $2.4 million, or $0.02 and $0.03 per diluted share, of interest related to DAYTONA Rising. There was no interest capitalized related to DAYTONA Rising in the same period of fiscal 2013.

Admissions revenue decreased slightly by approximately $0.1 million, or 0.2 percent, and $0.8 million, or 1.2 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. Admissions revenue for the three month period ending May 31, 2014 was consistent with prior year. The decrease in the six month period is largely attributable to decreased attendance driven by the threat of inclement weather leading up to the NASCAR Nationwide and Daytona 500 events and moving the Budweiser Duel from its historical Thursday afternoon schedule to an early evening time slot.

Motorsports related revenue increased approximately $2.3 million, or 1.9 percent, and $3.0 million, or 1.4 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increases for the three and six month periods are largely attributable to increases in television broadcast revenue of approximately $3.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively. Partially offsetting the three month period increase were lower sponsorship revenues of approximately $1.1 million and advertising revenues, predominately due to lower Motor Racing Network advertising and Sprint Vision revenues, of approximately $0.6 million. Partially offsetting the six month period increase were lower sponsorship revenues of approximately $0.7 million, advertising revenues, predominately due to lower Motor Racing Network advertising and Sprint Vision revenues, of approximately$1.0 million, and an adjustment in the 2013 first quarter to increase the ancillary rights fees attributable to fiscal 2012, of approximately $1.6 million, with no comparable adjustment in fiscal 2014.

Food, beverage and merchandise revenue increased approximately $10.0 million, or 78.5 percent, and $13.0 million, or 56.9 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increases to the three and six month periods are predominately due to the aforementioned consolidation of MA, of approximately $9.4 million and $12.0 million, respectively.

Prize and point fund monies and NASCAR sanction fees increased approximately $1.1 million, or 2.1 percent, and $1.9 million, or 2.4 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increases are primarily due to increases in television broadcast rights fees for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series events held during the period as standard NASCAR sanctioning agreements require a specific percentage of television broadcast rights fees to be paid to competitors.

Motorsports related expenses increased approximately $0.4 million, or 1.2 percent, and $0.9 million, or 1.6 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The slight increases for the three and six month periods are primarily attributable to incremental costs driven by inclement weather for several events and strategic spend to improve the guest experience with large screen video boards at Talladega. Motorsports related expenses as a percentage of combined admissions and motorsports related revenue remained consistent with the same respective periods in the prior year.

Food, beverage and merchandise expense increased approximately $7.9 million, or 83.7 percent and $10.8 million, or 64.2 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increases in the three and six month periods are predominately attributable to the aforementioned consolidation of MA. Food, beverage and merchandise expense as a percentage of food, beverage and merchandise revenue increased to approximately 76.7 percent for the three months ended May 31, 2014 and 76.6 percent for the six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, compared to approximately 74.5 percent and 73.2 percent for the same respective periods in the prior year. The decrease in margin for the three and six month periods are primarily a result of the aforementioned consolidation of MA. Excluding MA, food, beverage and merchandise expense as a percentage of food, beverage and merchandise sales is

30

comparable to the same periods in 2013. Also contributing to the six month decrease in margin is the ratio of fixed costs versus variable costs due to the rain delayed Daytona 500 in fiscal 2014.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.3 million, or 4.8 percent, and decreased approximately $0.4 million, or 0.8 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increase in the three month period is predominately due to certain administrative costs and certain ancillary facility operations, totaling approximately $1.6 million, and approximately $0.7 million in expenses related to MA. Partially offsetting the increase was certain ongoing carrying costs related to our Staten Island property, of approximately $1.1 million, that occurred in fiscal 2013, for which there were no comparable costs in the same period of fiscal 2014. The decrease in the six month period is primarily attributable to a decrease to our general liability reserve of approximately $1.1 million, due to certain claims not reaching their full exposure, as was estimated, prior to being resolved. Also contributing to the decrease were items that occurred in fiscal 2013, for which there were no comparable costs in the same period of fiscal 2014, such as the increase in the loss accrual associated with the Nationwide Series event incident at Daytona, of approximately $1.1 million, certain ongoing carrying costs related to our Staten Island property, of approximately $1.9 million, and our recognition of a charge relating to a legal judgment of litigation involving certain ancillary facility operations, of approximately $0.6 million. Partially offsetting the decrease were certain administrative costs, of approximately $3.7 million. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to approximately 14.5 percent and 16.1 percent for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to 14.8 percent and 17.1 percent for the same respective periods in the prior year. The margin improvement for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014 was predominately due to the aforementioned adjustments in our general liability insurance reserves in the 2014 period as well as carrying costs related to our Staten Island property and recognition of a charge relating to a legal judgment of litigation involving certain ancillary facility operations in fiscal 2013.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $3.1 million, or 15.9 percent, and $6.1 million, or 15.3 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same respective periods of the prior year. The increases were primarily attributable to the shortening the service lives of certain assets associated with DAYTONA Rising.

Losses on retirements of long-lived assets of approximately $3.4 million in fiscal 2014 are primarily attributable to demolition costs in connection with DAYTONA Rising and capacity management initiatives. The losses on retirements of long-lived assets of approximately $2.3 million in fiscal 2013 is primarily attributable to the removal of certain assets not fully depreciated in connection with the grandstand seating at Talladega Superspeedway (“Talladega”), as well as guest enhancements at our other facilities.

Interest income during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014 was comparable to the same periods of the prior year.

Interest expense during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 30.3 percent, and $2.0 million, or 25.6 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The decrease was predominately due to higher capitalized interest associated with DAYTONA Rising.

Equity in net income from equity investments represents our 50.0 percent equity investment in Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see “Equity and Other Investments”).

Our effective income tax rate was approximately 38.3 percent and 32.3 percent for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to 38.4 percent and 38.7 percent for the same respective periods of the prior year (see “Income Taxes”).

As a result of the foregoing, net income for the three and six month periods ending May 31, 2014, as compared to the same periods in prior year, reflected a decrease of approximately $1.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, and an increase of approximately $5.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We have historically generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures at existing facilities, and return of capital through payments of an annual cash dividend and repurchase of our shares under our Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, we have used the proceeds from offerings of our Class A Common Stock, the net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, borrowings under our credit facilities and state and local mechanisms to fund acquisitions and development projects. The following table sets forth, for each of the indicated periods, certain selected financial information (in thousands):

31

	November 30, 2013		May 31, 2014
	(Unaudited)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	172,827	$	218,183
Working capital	153,780		135,498
Total debt	274,487		274,166

At May 31, 2014, our working capital was primarily supported by our cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $218.2 million, an increase of approximately $45.4 million from November 30, 2013. Significant cash flow items during the six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):

	May 31, 2013			May 31, 2014
	(Unaudited)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	101,586		$	105,426
Capital expenditures (1)	(21,632		)	(74,708		)
Distribution from equity investee and affiliate (2)	9,500			10,000
Proceeds from sale of Staten Island property (3)	—			6,314
Net payments related to long-term debt	(334		)	(353		)

(1) Increase in capital expenditures is predominately due to DAYTONA Rising (see "Capital Expenditures")

(2) Distributions from equity investee and affiliates, for the six months ended May 31, 2014, totaling $10.0 million, consists of approximately $5.0 million received as a distribution from its profits, and is included in net cash provided by operating activities on our statement of cash flows, and the remaining approximate $5.0 million received, was recognized as a return of capital from investing activities on our statement of cash flows

(3) See "Note 4. Equity and Other Investments - Staten Island Property"

Our liquidity is primarily generated from our ongoing motorsports operations, and we expect our strong operating cash flow to continue in the future. In addition, as of May 31, 2014, we have approximately $296.0 million available to draw upon under our 2012 Credit Facility, if needed. See “Future Liquidity” for additional disclosures relating certain risks that may affect our near term operating results and liquidity.

Allocation of capital is driven by our long-term strategic planning and initiatives that encompass our mission, vision and values. Our primary uses of capital are to maintain modest debt levels that are consistent with our current investment grade debt rating from Standard and Poor’s. We will invest in our facilities to improve the guest experience and we will make investments in strategic projects that complement our core business and provide value for our shareholders, all of which is balanced with returning capital to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Capital Expenditures

As discussed in “Future Trends in Operating Results,” an important strategy for our future growth will come from investing in our major motorsports facilities to enhance the live event experience to better enable us to effectively compete with other entertainment venues for consumer and corporate spending.

In June 2013, ISC's board of directors endorsed a capital allocation plan for fiscal 2013 through fiscal 2017 to not exceed $600.0 million in capital expenditures over that period. The five-year capital expenditure plan encompasses all the capital expenditures for ISC's 13 major motorsports facilities, including DAYTONA Rising, as well as any equity commitments to undertake ONE DAYTONA. Of the endorsed five-year capital expenditure plan, DAYTONA Rising will account for between $375.0 million to $400.0 million of the $600.0 million.

With the majority of the capital expenditures for DAYTONA Rising occurring in fiscal 2014 and 2015, we estimate capital expenditures, exclusive of capitalized interest, across all of ISC's existing facilities will be approximately $200.0 million for fiscal 2014 and approximately $180.0 million for fiscal 2015. With a target completion date of DAYTONA Rising in January 2016, capital expenditures will then decrease significantly with an expectation of capital expenditures for projects at all of ISC's existing facilities, exclusive of capitalized interest, to be between $60.0 million to $70.0 million in fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2017.

For the six months ended May 31, 2014, we spent approximately $74.7 million on capital expenditures for projects at our existing facilities related to DAYTONA Rising and a variety of other improvements and renovations. In comparison, we spent approximately $21.6 million for the six months ended May 31, 2013, on capital expenditures for projects at our existing facilities.

We review the capital expenditure program periodically and modify it as required to meet current business needs.

Future Liquidity

General

As discussed in “Future Trends in Operating Results,” we compete for discretionary spending and leisure time with many other entertainment alternatives and are subject to factors that generally affect the recreation, leisure and sports industry, including general economic conditions. Our operations are also sensitive to factors that affect corporate budgets. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, employment levels, business conditions, interest and taxation rates, relative commodity prices, and changes in consumer tastes and spending habits.

The unprecedented adverse economic trends, which significantly impacted consumer confidence and disproportionately affected different demographics of our target customers, have influenced the frequency with which guests attended our major motorsports entertainment events. Continued uncertainty regarding regional economic conditions and further deterioration in the economy may adversely impact attendance levels, guest spending levels, and our ability to secure corporate marketing partnerships in the future. Reductions in any of these categories can directly and negatively affect revenues and profitability. This may negatively impact year-over-year comparability for our revenue categories for the full year, with the exception of domestic broadcast media rights fees.

Our cash flow from operations consists primarily of ticket, hospitality, merchandise, catering and concession sales and contracted revenues arising from television broadcast rights and marketing partnerships. We believe that cash flows from operations, along with existing cash, cash equivalents and available borrowings under our credit facility, will be sufficient to fund:

• operations of our major motorsports facilities for the foreseeable future;

• the previously discussed five-year capital expenditures plan at our existing facilities, which includes DAYTONA Rising as well as any future fan and competitor safety, critical maintenance and regulatory compliance spending;

• payments required in connection with the funding of the Unified Government's debt service requirements related to the TIF bonds;

• payments related to our existing debt service commitments;

• equity contributions in connection with ONE DAYTONA and any future expansion of the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway; and

• our annual dividend payment and share repurchases under our Stock Purchase Plan.

We remain interested in pursuing acquisition and/or development opportunities that would increase shareholder value, of which the timing, size, success and associated potential capital commitments, are unknown at this time. Accordingly, a material acceleration of our growth strategy could require us to obtain additional capital through debt and/or equity financings. Although there can be no assurance, we believe that adequate debt and equity financing will be available on satisfactory terms.

While we expect our strong operating cash flow to continue in the future, our financial results depend significantly on a number of factors. In addition to local, national, and global economic and financial market conditions, consumer and corporate spending could be adversely affected by security and other lifestyle conditions resulting in lower than expected future operating cash flows. General economic conditions were significantly and negatively impacted by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and could be similarly affected by any future attacks or fear of such attacks, or by conditions resulting from other acts or prospects of war. Any future attacks or wars or related threats could also increase our expenses related to insurance, security or other related matters. Also, our financial results could be adversely impacted by a widespread outbreak of a severe epidemiological crisis. The items discussed above could have a singular or compounded material adverse effect on our financial success and future cash flow.

DAYTONA Rising: Reimagining an American Icon

DAYTONA Rising is the redevelopment of the frontstretch of Daytona International Speedway, ISC's 55-year-old flagship motorsports facility, to enhance the event experience for our fans, marketing partners, broadcasters and the motorsports industry.

We currently anticipate DAYTONA Rising to cost between $375.0 million to $400.0 million, excluding capitalized interest, which we expect to fund from cash on hand, cash from our operations, and we may use borrowings on our credit facility for a limited period of time. In June 2014, a bill was signed in Florida establishing a process by which sports franchises are able to apply to receive sales tax refunds based on the amount of sales tax generated by their facility. The DAYTONA Rising project is among the eligible applicants and the new bill could potentially provide additional capital for the project.

Total spending incurred for DAYTONA Rising was approximately $65.2 million, during the six months ended May 31, 2014. Based on our current expectations of DAYTONA Rising, we have identified existing assets that are expected to be impacted by the redevelopment and that those assets will require accelerated depreciation or losses on asset retirements, totaling

33

approximately $50.0 million over the approximate 26-month project time span. During the six months ended May 31, 2014, we recognized accelerated depreciation and losses on disposal of assets totaling approximately $7.6 million.

As part of DAYTONA Rising, we entered into a Design-Build Agreement with Barton Malow Company (“Barton Malow”), which obligates us to pay Barton Malow approximately $316.0 million for the completion of the work described in the Design-Build Agreement. The amount is a stipulated sum to be paid for the work, which may not change unless we request a change in the scope of work. The Design-Build Agreement contains certain provisions and representations usual and customary for agreements of this type, including, among others, provisions regarding liquidated damages to be assessed for work that is not completed according to the agreed upon schedule, provisions regarding payment schedules, and provisions regarding bonding and liability insurance policies applicable to the work. In addition, the Design-Build Agreement contains customary provisions regarding termination, review and inspection of the work, warranties and the use of subcontractors.

Despite not anticipating the need for additional long-term debt to fund this project, accounting rules dictate that we capitalize a portion of the interest on existing outstanding debt during the construction period. We estimate that we will record approximately $11.0 million to $13.0 million of capitalized interest from fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2016, with roughly half of the capitalized interest recorded in fiscal 2014. In addition our depreciation expense will increase between $17.0 million to $20.0 million, rising to approximately $90.0 million to $105.0 million annually, in fiscal 2016 and then decreasing, due to lower capital spending, to approximately $85.0 million to $90.0 million beginning in fiscal 2019.

The vision for DAYTONA Rising places an emphasis on enhancing the complete fan experience, beginning with five expanded and redesigned fan entrances, or injectors. Each injector will lead directly to a series of escalators and elevators that will transport fans to any of three different concourse levels, each featuring spacious and strategically-placed social "neighborhoods" along the nearly mile-long frontstretch.

A total of 11 neighborhoods, each measuring the size of a football field, will enable fans to meet and socialize during events without missing any on-track action, thanks to dozens of strategically-placed video screens in every neighborhood. The central neighborhood, dubbed the "World Center of Racing," features open sight-lines enabling fans to catch all the on-track action while celebrating the history of Daytona International Speedway and its many unforgettable moments throughout more than 50 years of racing.

Every seat in the Speedway frontstretch will be replaced with wider, more comfortable seating that will provide pristine sight-lines. There will also be more restrooms and concession stands per customer throughout the facility.

In addition to enhancing the fan experience, the corporate entertainment platform will be completely transformed with DAYTONA Rising. Corporate hospitality will be moved into permanent structures inside the new grandstand, providing premier facilities for corporate entertaining throughout our events. In addition, over 60 trackside suites will provide our premium guests with breathtaking views and first-class amenities befitting the “World Center of Racing.”

In February 2014, Daytona International Speedway announced Toyota as its first Founding Partner for DAYTONA Rising. Through this partnership, Toyota will sponsor Injector 4 and one of the neighborhoods, as well as receive 20,000 square feet of innovative fan engagement space that will enhance the overall guest experience, and nearly 50,000 square feet of interior and exterior branding space. The partnership runs through 2025.

We expect that by providing our fans with a better experience as well as an expansive platform for our marketing partners, including an elevated hospitality experience, DAYTONA Rising, upon completion in 2016, is expected to provide an immediate incremental lift in Daytona International Speedway's revenues of approximately $20.0 million, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA”) lift of approximately $15.0 million with a mid-single-digit growth rate. We also currently anticipate the project to be accretive to our net income per share within three years of completion. While these forward looking amounts are management’s projections and we believe they are reasonable, our actual results may vary from these estimates due to unanticipated changes in projected attendance, lower than expected ticket prices, or lower than forecasted corporate sponsorships. We do not know whether these expectations will ultimately prove correct and actual revenues and operating results may differ materially from these estimates.

For Budweiser Speedweeks 2015, we expect to preview some of the new amenities for DAYTONA Rising such as vertical transportation, concessions and restrooms, as well as approximately 40,000 new grandstand seats on the frontstretch near Turn 1.

ONE DAYTONA

We entered into a 50/50 joint venture with Atlanta-based Jacoby Development, Inc. to develop a mixed-use entertainment destination, named ONE DAYTONA, located adjacent to our 188,000 square foot office building, the International Motorsports Center, on 189 acres we own located directly across from our Daytona motorsports entertainment facility.

We recently announced that the ONE DAYTONA joint venture has selected Shaner Hotels and Prime Hospitality Group ("PHG") as its hotel partners. Shaner Hotels and PHG are planning a 145-room full-service boutique property and are working

34

with global hospitality leader Marriott International to bring an exclusive Marriott Autograph Collection hotel to Daytona Beach and ONE DAYTONA.

The conceptual design for the first phase of ONE DAYTONA includes 1.1 million square feet of world-class shopping, fine dining, hotel, theater and other entertainment. Bass Pro Shops®, America's most popular outdoor store, and Cobb Theatres, the highly respected Southeastern-based exhibitor, have executed leases to anchor ONE DAYTONA. The joint venture is in active discussions with other potential anchor tenants for ONE DAYTONA. We have approved land use entitlements for ONE DAYTONA to allow for up to 1.4 million square feet of retail/dining/entertainment, 2,500 seats in a movie theater, 660 hotel rooms, 1,350 units of residential, 567,000 square feet of additional office space and 500,000 square feet of commercial/industrial space. Final designs are being completed for ONE DAYTONA, and the joint venture will incorporate the results of market studies, project costs and financing structures. We expect to announce a general contractor for the project in the near future.

The joint venture has formed a Community Development District ("CDD") for the purpose of installing and maintaining public infrastructure at ONE DAYTONA. The CDD is a local, special purpose government framework authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes for managing and financing infrastructure to support community development.

The CDD has negotiated agreements with the City of Daytona Beach and Volusia County for a total of $40.0 million in incentives to finance a portion of the estimated $53.0 million in infrastructure required to move forward with the ONE DAYTONA project. We are currently proceeding with the leasing phase of the project while simultaneously completing the various necessary requirements for the CDD to access the incentives to start infrastructure work.

Speedway Developments

In light of NASCAR's publicly announced position regarding additional potential realignment of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule, we believe there are still potential development opportunities for public/private partnerships in new, underserved markets across the country that would create value for our shareholders. However, we are not currently pursuing any new speedway development opportunities.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our operating costs and earnings.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2013. During the six months ended May 31, 2014, there have been no material changes in our market risk exposures.

ITEM 4. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2014. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 31, 2014.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our second quarter of fiscal 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are a party to routine litigation incidental to our business. We do not believe that the resolution of any or all of such litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

This report and the documents incorporated by reference may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You can identify a forward-looking statement by our use of the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “believe,”

35

“objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include our statements regarding the timing of future events, our anticipated future operations and our anticipated future financial position and cash requirements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we do not know whether our expectations will prove correct. We previously disclosed in response to Item 1A to Part I of our report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013 the important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations. There have been no material changes to those risk factors.

The Stock Purchase Plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. No shares have been or will be knowingly purchased from Company insiders or their affiliates.

Since inception of the Plan through May 31, 2014, we have purchased 7,063,962 shares of our Class A common shares, for a total of approximately $268.3 million. We did not purchase any shares of our Class A common shares during the three month period ended May 31, 2014.

At May 31, 2014, we had approximately $61.7 million remaining repurchase authority under the current Stock Purchase Plan.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The objective of this Update is to set requirements for presentation for significant items reclassified to net income in their entirety during the period and for items not reclassified to net income in their entirety during the period. For public entities, the amended requirements are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. This statement only impacts disclosures of reclassification adjustments and is not material to the Company's financial statement presentation. The Company has adopted the amendments of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

In May 2014, FASB, in conjunction with the International Accounting Standards Board, issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The objective of this Update is to significantly enhance comparability and clarify principles of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. For a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information but do not include all of the information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. The balance sheet at November 30, 2013, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the latest annual report on Form 10-K for International Speedway Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “ISC”). In management’s opinion, the statements include all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Certain prior year amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Because of the seasonal concentration of racing events, the results of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, are not indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

Equity and Other Investments

Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway

Kansas Entertainment, LLC, (“Kansas Entertainment”) a 50/50 joint venture of Penn Hollywood Kansas, Inc. (“Penn”), a subsidiary of Penn National Gaming, Inc. and Kansas Speedway Development Corporation (“KSDC”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC, operates the Hollywood-themed casino and branded destination entertainment facility, overlooking turn two at Kansas Speedway. Penn is the managing member of Kansas Entertainment and is responsible for the operations of the casino.

The Company has accounted for Kansas Entertainment as an equity investment in its financial statements as of May 31, 2013 and 2014. The Company's 50.0 percent portion of Kansas Entertainment’s net income is approximately $3.2 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and approximately $4.3 million and $4.4 million for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and is included in income from equity investments in its consolidated statements of operations. Included in the net income amount for three and six months ended May 31, 2013 is approximately $0.6 million related to a one-time property tax refund. There was no comparable income during the same periods of fiscal 2014.

Per the Development Agreement with the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas (“Unified Government”), the casino is subject to a 1.0 percent of gross gaming revenue penalty if it had not commenced construction on an adjacent hotel by the second anniversary of its opening, which was February 2014. In May 2014, the deadline for the commencement of construction extended until October 2014. Subsequently, in June 2014, the Unified Government approved a further extension of the construction commencement date. The purpose of this extension is to give the Unified Government time to complete a feasibility analysis for a new convention center that could be integrated with the hotel. If the Unified Government formally resolves to develop a convention center to be integrated with the proposed hotel, then Kansas Entertainment and the Unified Government will mutually agree on a new groundbreaking date. If the Unified Government decides not to proceed with the integrated development, then Kansas Entertainment will have 100 days after the Unified Government’s notification of its decision, subject to any additional time taking into account that groundbreaking cannot realistically occur during winter conditions, to commence construction prior to the enforcement of the aforementioned penalty.

The final decision to move forward with the proposed hotel will be market-based and approved by Kansas Entertainment’s board. Should Kansas Entertainment ultimately not build the hotel it will be subject to the penalty from the second anniversary of its opening forward. Accordingly, beginning February 2014, Kansas Entertainment began recording expense equal to 1.0 percent of gross gaming revenue since it did not proceed with construction of a hotel by the original deadline. Included in the Company's income from equity investment amounts for three and six months ended May 31, 2014 is approximately $0.2 million expense related to this penalty.

Distributions from Kansas Entertainment, for the six months ended May 31, 2014, totaling $10.0 million, consists of approximately $5.0 million received as a distribution from its profits, and is included in net cash provided by operating activities on the Company's statement of cash flows, and the remaining approximately $5.0 million received, was recognized as a return of capital from investing activities on the Company's statement of cash flows. Distributions from Kansas Entertainment, for the six months ended May 31, 2013, totaling $9.5 million, consists of approximately $4.8 million received as a distribution from its profits, and is included in net cash provided by operating activities on the Company's statement of cash flows, and the remaining approximate $4.7 million received, was recognized as a return of capital from investing activities on the Company's statement of cash flows.

Subsequent to May 31, 2014, the Company received an additional distribution of approximately $5.5 million.

Staten Island Property

On August 5, 2013, the Company announced that it sold its 676 acre parcel of property located in Staten Island, New York, to Staten Island Marine Development, LLC (“Marine Development”). Marine Development purchased 100 percent of the outstanding equity membership interests of 380 Development LLC (“380 Development”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC and owner of the Staten Island property, for a total sales price of $80.0 million. In addition, the Company previously received approximately $4.2 million for an option provided to the purchaser that is nonrefundable and does not apply to the $80.0 million sales price.

The Company received $7.5 million, less closing and other administrative costs, of the sales price at closing. The remaining sales price was financed with the Company holding a secured mortgage interest in 380 Development as well as the underlying property. The mortgage balance bears interest at an annual rate of 7.0 percent. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company received approximately $6.1 million plus interest on this mortgage balance in February 2014, and will receive the remaining purchase price of $66.4 million, due March 5, 2016. Interest on the latter mortgage balance will be paid 12 months after closing and then quarterly, in arrears. Based on the level of Marine Development's initial investment at closing and continuing investment, the Company has accounted for the transaction using the cost recovery method and has deferred the recognition of profit of approximately $1.9 million, and interest totaling approximately $0.7 million at May 31, 2014, until the carrying amount of the property is recovered, which will not be until the final payment is made.

As a result of the sale, the Company expects to receive a cash tax benefit of approximately $41.9 million, based on its current corporate tax rate. This cash tax benefit, when combined with the net proceeds from the sale total approximately $118.0 million in incremental cash flow as a result of the sale.

Motorsports Authentics

Prior to January 31, 2014, the Company was partners with Speedway Motorsports, Inc. ("SMI") in a 50/50 joint venture, SMISC, LLC, which, through its wholly owned subsidiary Motorsports Authentics, LLC conducts business under the name Motorsports Authentics (“MA”). MA designs, promotes, markets and distributes motorsports licensed merchandise. On January 31, 2014, SMI abandoned its interest and rights in SMISC, LLC, consequently bringing the Company's ownership to 100.0 percent. MA's operations are included in the Company's consolidated operations subsequent to the date of SMI's abandonment. Prior to January 31, 2014, MA was accounted for as an equity investment in the Company's financial statements.

As a result of SMI's abandonment of their interest in SMISC, LLC, the Company recorded other income of approximately $5.4 million, representing the fair value of MA, over the carrying value, as of January 31, 2014. The fair value was based on a discounted cash flow analysis using level 3 inputs. Most of the fair value represents the value of MA's working capital and the fair value was not sensitive to assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis.

In addition, the Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $1.8 million, representing the benefit associated with various operating loss carryforwards of MA that are expected to be realized in its consolidated tax filings in the future. MA's operating income contribution, subsequent to consolidation, was immaterial, and is included in the Motorsports Event segment.

Prior to the SMI abandonment of SMISC, LLC, no equity income was recognized in prior periods, by the Company, as MA operated at breakeven.

NASCAR, which sanctions many of the Company’s principal racing events, is a member of the France Family Group which controls approximately 72.0 percent of the combined voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company, as of November 30, 2013, and some members of which serve as directors and officers of the Company. Standard NASCAR sanction agreements require racetrack operators to pay sanction fees and prize and point fund monies for each sanctioned event conducted. The prize and point fund monies are distributed by NASCAR to participants in the events. Prize and point fund monies paid by the Company to NASCAR for disbursement to competitors, which are exclusive of NASCAR sanction fees, totaled approximately $41.5 million and $42.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and $64.7 million and $65.9 million for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Under current agreements, NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series schedules. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series event as a component of its sanction fees. The promoter records 90.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as revenue and then records 25.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as part of its awards to the competitors. Ultimately, the promoter retains 65.0 percent of the net cash proceeds from the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event. The Company’s television broadcast and ancillary rights fees received from NASCAR for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Camping World Truck series events conducted at its wholly owned facilities, and recorded as part of motorsports related revenue, were approximately $92.3 million and $96.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and $149.7 million and $154.1 million for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Financial Instruments

Various inputs are considered when determining the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities which approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

At May 31, 2014, the Company had money market funds totaling approximately $62.7 million which are included in cash and cash equivalents in its consolidated balance sheets. All inputs used to determine fair value are considered level 1 inputs.

Fair values of long-term debt are based on quoted market prices at the date of measurement. The Company’s credit facilities approximate fair value as they bear interest rates that approximate market. These inputs used to determine fair value are considered level 2 inputs. The fair value of the remaining long-term debt, as determined by quotes from financial institutions, was approximately $293.0 million compared to the carrying amount of approximately $274.5 million and approximately $297.9 million compared to the carrying amount of approximately $274.2 million at November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2014, respectively.

The Company had no financial instruments that used level 3 inputs as of May 31, 2014.

Segment Reporting

The general nature of the Company’s business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise, furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. The Company’s motorsports event operations consist principally of racing events at its major motorsports entertainment facilities. The reporting units within the motorsports segment portfolio are reviewed together as the nature of the products and services, the production processes used, the type or class of customer using our products and services, and the methods used to distribute our products or provide their services are consistent in objectives and principles, and predominately uniform and centralized throughout the Company. The Company’s remaining business units, which are comprised of the radio network production and syndication of numerous racing events and programs, certain souvenir merchandising operations not associated with the promotion of motorsports events at the Company’s facilities, construction management services, leasing operations, and financing and licensing operations are included in the “All Other” segment. The Company evaluates financial performance of the business units on operating profit after allocation of corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. Corporate G&A expenses are allocated to business units based on each business unit’s net revenues to total net revenues.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales are accounted for at prices comparable to unaffiliated customers.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

In October 2002, the Unified Government issued subordinate sales tax special obligation revenue bonds (“2002 STAR Bonds”) totaling approximately $6.3 million to reimburse the Company for certain construction already completed on the second phase of the Kansas Speedway project and to fund certain additional construction. The 2002 STAR Bonds, which require annual debt service payments and are due December 1, 2022, will be retired with state and local taxes generated within the speedway’s boundaries and are not the Company’s obligation. KSC has agreed to guarantee the payment of principal and any required premium and interest on the 2002 STAR Bonds. At May 31, 2014, the Unified Government had approximately $1.4 million outstanding on 2002 STAR Bonds. Under a keepwell agreement, the Company has agreed to provide financial assistance to KSC, if necessary, to support KSC’s guarantee of the 2002 STAR Bonds.

In connection with the Company’s automobile and workers’ compensation insurance coverages and certain construction contracts, the Company has standby letter of credit agreements in favor of third parties totaling approximately $4.0 million at May 31, 2014. At May 31, 2014, there were no amounts drawn on the standby letters of credit.

DAYTONA Rising: Reimagining an American Icon

The Company is currently redeveloping the frontstretch of Daytona International Speedway ("Daytona"), the Company's 55-year-old flagship motorsports facility, to enhance the event experience for its fans, marketing partners, broadcasters and the motorsports industry. The redevelopment of Daytona has been branded DAYTONA Rising.

The Company currently anticipates DAYTONA Rising to cost between $375.0 million to $400.0 million, excluding capitalized interest. The Company expects to fund DAYTONA Rising from cash on hand, cash from its operations, and may use borrowings on its credit facility for a limited period of time. In June 2014, a bill was signed in Florida establishing a process by which sports franchises are able to apply to receive sales tax refunds based on the amount of sales tax generated by their facility. The Company's DAYTONA Rising project is among the eligible applicants and the new bill could potentially provide additional capital for the DAYTONA Rising project.

Total spending incurred for DAYTONA Rising was approximately $35.8 million and $65.2 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively. Based on the Company's current expectations of DAYTONA Rising, it has identified existing assets that are expected to be impacted by the redevelopment and that those assets will require accelerated depreciation or losses on asset retirements, totaling approximately $50.0 million over the approximate 26-month project time span. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, the Company recognized accelerated depreciation and losses on disposal of assets totaling approximately $3.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

As part of DAYTONA Rising, the Company entered into a Design-Build Agreement with Barton Malow Company (“Barton Malow”), which obligates it to pay Barton Malow approximately $316.0 million for the completion of the work described in the Design-Build Agreement. The amount is a stipulated sum to be paid for the work, which may not change unless the Company requests a change in the scope of work. The Design-Build Agreement contains certain provisions and representations usual and customary for agreements of this type, including, among others, provisions regarding liquidated damages to be assessed for work that is not completed according to the agreed upon schedule, provisions regarding payment schedules, and provisions regarding bonding and liability insurance policies applicable to the work. In addition, the Design-Build Agreement contains customary provisions regarding termination, review and inspection of the work, warranties and the use of subcontractors.
