1 Rule 424(b)3 Registration Statement No. 33-34923 [NCMS LETTERHEAD] November 7, 1997 To The Shareholders of North Carolina Motor Speedway, Inc. Re: Recent Development - Bruton Smith Lawsuit Against Penske Motorsports, Inc. Dismissed Dear Shareholder: You recently received a notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders of North Carolina Motor Speedway, Inc. (the "Company") to be held on Tuesday, December 2, 1997 (the "Meeting"), at which you will be asked to consider and approve a proposed agreement and plan of merger among the Company, Penske Acquisition, Inc. and Penske Motorsports, Inc., pursuant to which the Company will merge into Penske Acquisition, Inc. The notice of Special Meeting was accompanied by a proxy statement/prospectus which described the merger and other related information. Earlier this week, Penske Motorsports issued a press release announcing that the North Carolina Business Court in Charlotte, North Carolina ruled in favor of Penske Motorsports and dismissed Bruton Smith's lawsuit against Penske Motorsports, the Company and the directors of the Company following a hearing held yesterday. As noted in the proxy statement/prospectus, Mr. Smith's lawsuit had challenged the proposed merger. Concurrently with the dismissal, the court denied Mr. Smith's motion for a preliminary injunction. Enclosed is a copy of the press release announcing the court's decision. You should review it in conjunction with the proxy statement/prospectus, including in particular the following sections which are supplemented by the press release: "Risk Factors - Litigation to Enjoin the Merger" (page 9) "Business of NCMS - Legal Proceedings" (page 43) It is of course still possible that Mr. Smith will choose to appeal the court's decision, however, whether he will choose to do so and, if he does so, whether the court's decision will be overturned cannot be predicted at this time. In the meantime, however, the Meeting will go on as scheduled. In that connection, we would very much appreciate your returning your proxy voting in favor of the merger in the manner described in the materials previously sent to you. If you have questions, please call Robert H. Kurnick, Jr. at 248/614-1116. Sincerely, NORTH CAROLINA MOTOR SPEEDWAY, INC.
