FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NASCAR APPROVES INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY'S PROPOSAL
FOR REALIGNMENT OF WINSTON CUP DATES FOR 2004

~ California Speedway to Host Second NASCAR Winston Cup Race ~
~ Event to be Held “Under the Lights” on Labor Day Weekend ~

DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA – June 13, 2003 – International Speedway Corporation (“ISC”) (Nasdaq/NM: ISCA; OTC Bulletin Board: ISCB) today announced that NASCAR has approved the Company’s proposal for the realignment of NASCAR Winston Cup Series dates between its North Carolina, Darlington and California facilities.  As a result of the realignment, California Speedway will host an additional Winston Cup event weekend during the Labor Day weekend, Darlington Raceway will host race Winston Cup race weekends in March and November, and North Carolina Speedway will host one Winston Cup event weekend in February.  All changes will take effect for the 2004 season.

"NASCAR's Winston Cup Series realignment offers the opportunity to increase the sport’s exposure in major markets, which benefits the fans, teams, track operators, sponsors and television broadcast partners," commented Lesa France Kennedy, President of International Speedway Corporation.  "An additional NASCAR event weekend in the Los Angeles area offers fans in an underserved part of the country another opportunity to experience the excitement and thrill of world-class racing.  Further, with a second Winston Cup event in the nation’s second largest media market, ISC will be able to leverage its relationships with marketing partners who recognize the incremental value offered by our increased national presence."

The Company expects these schedule changes will result in a net positive impact to fiscal 2004 revenue and earnings, and will include the contribution when it provides full financial guidance for its anticipated 2004 results later this year.     

"We are extremely pleased that NASCAR approved our request to realign certain Winston Cup dates within our facilities and look forward to a successful inaugural Labor Day event weekend at California in 2004," commented John R. Saunders, Senior Vice President and COO of International Speedway Corporation.  "With the completion of California’s announced speedway lighting project, the race will be broadcast live under the lights in prime time on the East Coast.  We expect this will benefit the sport’s broadcast partners through higher ratings as there are generally more viewers watching television later in the day.  As a result of increased visibility for the sport, we believe these schedule changes will benefit the long-term growth of the entire NASCAR racing community."
