  ~Changes to International Speedway Corporation's Schedule of Events Will

                               Benefit Fans~



    DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Aug. 19 /EMWNews/ -- International

Speedway Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market: ISCA; OTC Bulletin

Board: ISCB) ("ISC") today provided details of the positive changes to its

2009 race schedules after NASCAR released its Sprint Cup, Nationwide and

Truck series' schedules. Notable changes and additions for ISC include:



    -- Auto Club Speedway's fall NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide race

weekend will move from Labor Day weekend to October 10-11, 2009. Atlanta

Motor Speedway, which is owned by Speedway Motorsports, Inc., will move its

fall Sprint Cup and Nationwide races to Labor Day weekend in 2009.



    -- Talladega Superspeedway's fall NASCAR Sprint Cup and Truck race

weekend will move to October 31 and November 1, with the 2009 NASCAR Sprint

Cup AMP Energy 500 becoming the seventh race in the "Chase for the NASCAR

Sprint Cup." The ARCA RE/MAX Series event to be held on October 3, 2008,

will move to Talladega's spring NASCAR race weekend anchored by the Sprint

Cup Aaron's 499 on April 26, 2009.



    -- Chicagoland Speedway will host a NASCAR Truck race during the

evening of August 28, 2009 as a complement to the facility's IRL IndyCar

Series race scheduled for August 29, 2009. The Chicagoland event will

replace Atlanta's late-season position on the 2008 Truck schedule.



    "We are very pleased with the changes to our 2009 schedule of events

including the addition of a Truck race in the third largest media market of

Chicago," stated ISC's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating

Officer, John Saunders. "Auto Club Speedway benefits by moving its fall

events to later in the year when the Southern California weather is more

comfortable. In addition, Auto Club's Pepsi 500 will become part of the

10-race Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. For Talladega, the combination of

moving its fall races to later in the season and Atlanta moving its events

to Labor Day weekend will result in more separation between Talladega and

Atlanta's fall race weekends. We are delighted that NASCAR was able to

revise its schedules to better serve our fans."
