INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY INITIATES 2007 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
DAYTONA BEACH , Fla. – December 14, 2006 – International Speedway Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market: ISCA; OTC Bulletin Board: ISCB) ("ISC") today initiated financial guidance for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2007.
"ISC will continue to execute its proven business plan to capitalize on the popularity of major motorsports entertainment in North America," said ISC President Lesa France Kennedy.  "At the industry level, NASCAR racing is poised to further broaden fan and media awareness in 2007 with several significant developments, including the return of ESPN.  For ISC, we expect continued strength in consumer and corporate demand for our premier events in 2007 and beyond.  We remain well-positioned to leverage our long-term growth strategy to further drive the popularity of major motorsports in North America while enhancing value for our shareholders."
Revenues and Earnings per Share:
For the twelve months ending November 30, 2007, the Company anticipates total revenues to range between $755 million and $775 million.  In addition, earnings are expected to range between $3.05 and $3.15 per diluted share.
This guidance assumes capitalized interest will be $3 million to $4 million lower for the 2007 fiscal year as compared to expected results for fiscal 2006.  The reduction in capitalized interest of between $0.04 and $0.05 per diluted share for 2007 is the result of an expected 2006 fourth quarter non-cash write-down of the value of the 676-acre parcel ISC owns in the New York City borough of Staten Island, as further described in the Company's press release dated December 4, 2006.
