ISC Continues Pursuit of Development Project in Pacific Northwest DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Nov. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- International Speedway Corporation ("ISC") (NASDAQ:ISCA)(OTC:ISCB) (BULLETIN BOARD: ISCB) today announced it will resume pursuit of additional sites for the development of a major motorsports facility in the Pacific Northwest. After preliminary due diligence during the past six weeks on a site proposed by Snohomish County and the City of Marysville, it has been determined the site-specific costs of this project were beyond what was originally anticipated. As a result, Snohomish County and Marysville have withdrawn their proposal, allowing ISC to resume exploration of other potential locations. "We remain committed to bring major motorsports entertainment to the Pacific Northwest," commented H. Lee Combs, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development of ISC. "While we are disappointed that the site in Marysville was not feasible, our enthusiasm for the area is in no way dampened. There has been interest and support for this major opportunity from several other municipalities in Washington as well as from State officials, who recognize the economic benefits and long-term positive potential impact of our plan. We remain very optimistic in our ability to construct a world-class racing facility in this region of the country."
