Item 5.   Other Events.
     The Company today issued a press release which reported results for the
first quarter which ended February 29, 2000.

     Total revenues for the 2000 first quarter increased to $111.6 million
versus $83.2 million in the 1999 first quarter.  Net income was $16.1 million,
or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $25.9 million, or $0.60 per diluted
share, in the prior-year period.  Operating income for the first quarter was
$35.2 million compared to $40.2 million in 1999.   ISC's results for the two
periods are not comparable due to the Company's acquisition of Richmond
International Raceway on December 1, 1999, and the merger with  Penske
Motorsports, Inc. completed in the third quarter of 1999.
