DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA (Aug. 29, 2002) International Speedway Corporation (Nasdaq/NM: ISCA; OTC Bulletin Board: ISCB) announced today that its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William C.

"I have spoken with my brother and he is alert and in good spirits. The doctors say to expect a full recovery," said James C. France, President and Chief Operating Officer of ISC. "With regards to the company, we have a strong management team in place and expect on-going operations to continue to run efficiently."
