Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

All of the racing events that take place during our fiscal year are sanctioned by various racing organizations such as the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association, the American Motorcyclist Association, the Automobile Racing Club of America, the American Sportbike Racing Association — Championship Cup Series, the Federation Internationale de L’Automobile, the Federation Internationale Motocycliste, Grand American Road Racing Association, Historic Sportscar Racing, Indy Racing League, NASCAR, National Hot Rod Association, the Porsche Club of America, the Sports Car Club of America, the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association, the United States Auto Club and the World Karting Association. NASCAR, which sanctions some of our principal racing events, is a member of the France Family Group which controls in excess of 70.0 percent of the combined voting power of our outstanding stock, and some members of which serve as our directors and officers. Standard NASCAR sanction agreements require racetrack operators to pay sanction fees and prize and point fund monies for each sanctioned event conducted. The prize and point fund monies are distributed by NASCAR to participants in the events. Prize and point fund monies paid by us to NASCAR from continuing operations for disbursement to competitors, which are exclusive of NASCAR sanction fees, totaled approximately $135.9 million for the year ended November 30, 2009. We have outstanding receivables related to NASCAR and its affiliates of approximately $28.4 million at November 30, 2009.

Under current agreements, NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide series schedules and the NASCAR Camping World Truck series schedule. Event promoters share in the television rights fees in accordance with the provision of the sanction agreement for each NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series event. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide or Camping World Truck series event as a component of its sanction fees and remits the remaining 90.0 percent to the event promoter. The event promoter pays 25.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event as part of the previously discussed prize money paid to NASCAR for disbursement to competitors. Our television broadcast and ancillary rights fees from continuing operations received from NASCAR for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series events conducted at its wholly-owned facilities were $262.0 million in fiscal year 2009.

In addition, we share a variety of expenses with NASCAR in the ordinary course of business. NASCAR pays rent, as well as a related maintenance fee (allocated based on square footage), to us for office space in Daytona Beach, Florida. We pay rent to NASCAR for office space in Los Angeles, California. These rents are based upon estimated fair market lease rates for comparable facilities. NASCAR pays us for radio, program and strategic initiative advertising, hospitality and suite rentals, various tickets and credentials, catering services, participation in a NASCAR racing event banquet, and track and other equipment rentals based on similar prices paid by unrelated, third party purchasers of similar items. We pay NASCAR for certain advertising, participation in NASCAR racing series banquets, the use of NASCAR trademarks and intellectual images and production space for Sprint Vision based on similar prices paid by unrelated, third party purchasers of similar items. Our payments to NASCAR for MRN Radio’s broadcast rights to NASCAR Camping World Truck races represent an agreed-upon percentage of

our advertising revenues attributable to such race broadcasts. NASCAR also reimburses us for 50.0 percent of the compensation paid to certain personnel working in our legal, risk management and transportation departments, as well as 50.0 percent of the compensation expense associated with certain receptionists. We reimburse NASCAR for 50.0 percent of the compensation paid to certain personnel working in NASCAR’s legal department. NASCAR’s reimbursement for use of our mailroom, janitorial services, security services, catering, graphic arts, photo and publishing services, telephone system and our reimbursement of NASCAR for use of corporate aircraft, is based on actual usage or an allocation of total actual usage. The aggregate amount received from NASCAR by us for shared expenses, net of amounts paid by us for shared expenses, totaled approximately $4.5 million during fiscal 2009. Grand American, a wholly owned subsidiary of NASCAR, sanctions various events at certain of our facilities. Standard Grand American sanction agreements require racetrack operators to pay sanction fees and prize and point fund monies for each sanctioned event conducted. The prize and point fund monies are distributed by Grand American to participants in the events. Sanction fees paid by us to Grand American totaled approximately $1.8 million for the year ended November 30, 2009.

In addition, we share a variety of expenses with Grand American in the ordinary course of business. Grand American pays rent to us for office space in Daytona Beach, Florida. These rents are based upon estimated fair market lease rates for comparable facilities. Grand American purchases various advertising, catering services, suites and hospitality and track and equipment rentals from us based on similar prices paid by unrelated, third party purchasers of similar items. We pay Grand American for the use of Grand American’s trademarks based on similar prices paid by unrelated, third party purchasers of similar items. Grand American’s reimbursement for use of our mailroom, telephone system, security, graphic arts, photo and publishing services is based on actual usage or an allocation of total actual usage. The aggregate amount received from Grand American by us for shared expenses, net of amounts paid by us for shared expenses, totaled approximately $450,000 during fiscal 2009.

We strive to ensure, and management believes that, the terms of our transactions with NASCAR and Grand American are no less favorable to us than could be obtained in arms-length negotiations.

Certain members of the France Family Group paid us for the utilization of security services, event planning, event tickets, purchase of catering services, maintenance services, and certain equipment. We leased certain parcels of land from WCF and JCF, LLC, which is owned by France Family Group members. The land parcels are used primarily for parking during the events held at Martinsville Speedway. The amounts paid for these items were based on actual costs incurred, similar prices paid by unrelated third party purchasers of similar items or estimated fair market values. The aggregate amount received by us for these items, net of amounts paid, totaled approximately $240,000 during fiscal 2009.

We have collateral assignment split-dollar insurance agreements covering the lives of James C. France, his spouse, and the surviving spouse of William C. France. Upon surrender of the policies or payment of the death benefits thereunder, we are entitled to repayment of an amount equal to the cumulative premiums previously paid by us. We may cause the agreements to be terminated and the policies surrendered at any time after the cash surrender value of the policies equals the cumulative premiums advanced under the agreements. We recorded the insurance expense net of the increase in cash surrender value of the policies associated with these agreements.

Crotty, Bartlett & Kelly, P.A. (“Crotty, Bartlett & Kelly”), a law firm controlled by siblings of W. Garrett Crotty, one of our executive officers, leased office space located in our corporate office complex in Daytona Beach, Florida. We engage Crotty, Bartlett & Kelly for certain legal and consulting services. The aggregate amount paid to Crotty, Bartlett & Kelly by us for legal and consulting services, net of amounts received by us for leased office space, totaled approximately $71,000 during fiscal 2009.

J. Hyatt Brown, one of our directors, serves as Chairman of Brown & Brown, Inc. (“Brown & Brown”). Brown & Brown has received commissions for serving as our insurance broker for several of our insurance policies, including our property and casualty policy, certain employee benefit programs and the aforementioned split-dollar arrangements. The aggregate commissions received by Brown & Brown in connection with these policies were approximately $506,000 during fiscal 2009.

Kinsey, Vincent Pyle, L.C., a law firm which Christy F. Harris, one of our directors, joined in fiscal 2004, provided legal services to us during fiscal 2009. We paid approximately $81,000 for these services in fiscal 2009, which were charged to us on the same basis as those provided other clients.

We have adopted written policies and procedures for review, approval and ratification of transactions with related persons. These policies are evidenced in the Code of Conduct, as well as policies concerning Conflicts of Interest and Business Ethics and Conduct. The Audit Committee is charged in its Charter with the ultimate responsibility for the review and approval of all related party transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K. All proposed transactions (regardless of the amount involved) with any director or executive officer (or their affiliates) are required to be submitted to the Audit Committee for approval prior to the transaction taking place. As part of our disclosure controls, all related party transactions are reported monthly and reviewed by the Disclosure Committee, which includes the Chief Compliance Officer and the Internal Auditor. The Disclosure Committee is responsible for elevating matters for Audit Committee consideration. While the standard used to evaluate a transaction will vary depending upon the particular circumstances, the goal is to make sure that we are treated fairly and on the same basis as transactions with parties that are not related. There have been no instances during the last fiscal year where such policies and procedures were not followed.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Based upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009, Forms 5 and amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009, and written representations furnished to us, there is no person who, at any time during the fiscal year, was a director, officer, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of any class of our securities that failed to file on a timely basis reports required by section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009.

Director Meetings and Committees

Our Board of Directors met four times during fiscal 2009. Our Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, a Growth & Development Committee, a Financing Committee and a Stock Repurchase Committee.

Director Nomination Process

A current copy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter is available on our Internet website at www.internationalspeedwaycorporation.com. Each director on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is “independent” (as independence is presently defined by the NASDAQ listing standards).

As part of its process and procedures, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers director candidates recommended by security holders. All recommendations of director candidates by shareholders will be furnished to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and will be considered in the same manner and according to the same criteria as would all other director candidates.

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Shareholders who wish to nominate directors for election at an annual meeting of shareholders are required to follow the procedures contained in Article VI of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, which are available on our Internet website at www.internationalspeedwaycorporation.com. Nominations must be in writing, addressed to the Secretary, and must be received in writing not less than 120 days nor more than 180 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of our notice of annual meeting of shareholders provided for the previous year’s annual meeting. The shareholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth (i) certain information regarding the nominee, such as name, age and principal occupation, and (ii) certain information regarding the shareholder(s) such as the name and record address of the shareholder(s) and the number of shares of our capital stock such shareholder(s) own. No person will be eligible for election as a director unless nominated in accordance with these procedures. There were no shareholder nominations submitted for the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders. For the 2011 annual meeting nominations by shareholders must be received by the Secretary between September 10, 2010 and November 9, 2010.

As stated in its charter, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will annually assess the Board’s effectiveness, including the core competencies and qualifications of members of the Board. If the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee deems it necessary, it may select and retain an executive search firm to identify qualified candidates to serve as members of the Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that members of and nominees to the Board should reflect expertise in one or more of the following areas: accounting and finance, business of motorsports, mergers and acquisitions, leadership, business and management, strategic planning, government relations, investor relations, executive leadership development and executive compensation. All nominees to our board of directors will be considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee with these criteria in mind.

It is our policy to hold the annual meeting of directors immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders. All Board members are invited to attend the annual meeting of shareholders and are encouraged to attend. In fiscal 2009, thirteen directors attended the annual meeting of shareholders.

Shareholder Communications to the Board

Shareholders may contact an individual director, the Board as a group, or a specified Board committee or group, including the non-employee directors as a group, by mailing correspondence in the following manner:

International Speedway Corporation
c/o Legal Department

Attention: Board of Directors

Each communication should specify the applicable addressee or addressees to be contacted as well as the general topic of the communication. Our Legal Department will initially receive and process communications before forwarding them to the addressee. All communications from shareholders will be forwarded to the addressee(s).

Code of Ethics

Our Audit Committee has adopted a code of ethics that applies to our senior financial officers including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. A copy of that code of ethics is available on our Internet website at www.internationalspeedwaycorporation.com. We intend to satisfy our disclosure obligations regarding any amendment to, or waiver from, any provision of our code of ethics that applies to any of our senior financial officers by posting that information on our Internet website.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. The Company’s management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements and related schedule in the Annual Report with Company management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Committee reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited consolidated financial statements and related schedule with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, its judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Committee by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (as amended), other standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other applicable regulations. In addition, the Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the firm’s independence from Company management and the Company, including the matters in the letter from the firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No.1, and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

The Committee also reviewed management’s report on its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and the independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Committee discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm that there were no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, individually or in the aggregate, identified during the course of the assessment and the audit.

The Committee discussed with the Company’s internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Committee meets with the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal control, including internal control over financial reporting, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The Committee held six meetings during fiscal year 2009.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee approved the inclusion of the audited consolidated financial statements and related schedule and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2009 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In April 2009, the Committee approved the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm which performed the fiscal 2009 annual audit of the Company’s financial statements and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Committee is governed by a charter. The Committee is comprised solely of independent directors as defined by the NASDAQ listing standards and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation discussion and analysis.

Overview

The goal of the compensation programs for our named executive officers is the same as our goal for operating the company — to create and enhance value for our shareholders. Toward this goal, we have designed and implemented our compensation programs for our named executives to:

	•		reward them for financial and operating performance;
	•		align their interests with those of our shareholders; and
	•		encourage them to remain with the company.

Most of our compensation elements simultaneously fulfill one or more of our performance, alignment and retention objectives. These elements consist of:

	•		salary and annual discretionary bonus;
	•		non-equity (cash) incentive compensation based upon annually determined performance criteria;
	•		equity incentive compensation based upon annually determined performance criteria combined with a time based vesting schedule; and
	•		other benefits.

In deciding on the type and amount of compensation for each executive, we focus almost exclusively on current pay. We combine the compensation elements for each executive in a manner we believe optimizes the value for our shareholders.

Compensation Objectives

          Performance.

The amount of compensation for each named executive officer (those persons who are identified in the Summary Compensation Table) is based upon the Company’s attainment of specific performance criteria and the individual’s perceived contribution to those results. Elements of compensation for each of the named executive officer’s that depend upon performance are:

	•		a plan-based cash bonus that is based upon the Company’s performance against normalized target quantitative measures which we believe to be indicators of the Company’s overall performance;
	•		a discretionary cash bonus that is based upon a subjective assessment of the named executive officer’s individual performance against pre-determined target qualitative measures within the context of the Company’s overall performance; and
	•		a plan-based restricted stock award that is based upon the Company’s performance against the same normalized target quantitative measures used to establish the plan-based cash bonus which is subject to vesting schedules that require continued service to the Company.

Each of these elements reward annual achievements and are commensurate with the named executive officer’s scope of responsibilities.

          Alignment.

We attempt to align the interests of the named executive officers with those of our shareholders by evaluating executive performance on the basis of normalized target quantitative financial measurements which we believe closely correlate to increasing shareholder value.

The element of compensation that aligns the interests of the named executive officers with shareholders is the plan-based restricted stock award which links a portion of compensation to shareholder value because the initial value is linked to meeting normalized Company performance goals and the total value corresponds to dividends and cumulative changes in stock price during the vesting period.

          Retention.

Because of our position in the motorsports industry some of our named executive officers are often presented with other professional opportunities, some of which are at higher compensation levels. We attempt to retain our named executive officers through the vesting terms on the plan-based restricted stock awards.

Compensation Implementation

          Determination of Compensation.

As part of our total overall compensation plan our named executive officers are placed in structured pay grades based upon job responsibility and description. Each grade has an established range for annual base salary as well as targeted percentages of the annual base salary for annual incentive compensation. The salary ranges and targeted incentive compensation percentages for each pay grade have been evaluated regularly and adjusted when appropriate by the Compensation Committee based upon changes in market conditions and the Company’s performance factors.

We rely upon judgment in initially making compensation decisions, after reviewing the performance of the Company and evaluating an executive’s prospects and performance during the year against established goals, operational performance, business responsibilities, and current compensation arrangements. Specific factors affecting compensation decisions for the named executive officers include:

	•		key financial measurements such as revenue, organic revenue, operating profit, earnings per share, operating margins, return on total equity or total capital, cash flow from operating activities and total shareholder return;
	•		strategic objectives such as acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures;
	•		promoting excellence by improving products or services, being a leading market player and attracting and retaining customers and business partners; and
	•		achieving specific operational goals for the company.

We generally adhere to our historic practices and formulas in determining the amount and mix of compensation elements. Because of our reliance on the formulaic achievement of annual Company financial goals in determining the amount of plan-based compensation, short term changes in business performance can have a significant impact on the compensation of the named executive officers. We consider competitive market compensation paid by other companies of similar size and market capitalization, but we do not attempt to maintain a certain target percentile within a peer group or otherwise rely on those data to determine executive compensation.

We do not have any specific apportionment goal with respect to the mix between equity incentive awards and cash payments. We generally attempt to assess an executive’s total pay opportunities and whether we have provided the appropriate incentives to accomplish our compensation objectives. Our mix of compensation elements is designed to reward recent results and performance through a combination of cash and equity incentive awards. We also seek to balance compensation elements that are based on financial, operational and strategic metrics. We believe the most important indicator of whether our compensation objectives are being met is our ability to motivate our named executives to deliver superior performance and retain them.

None of our named executive officers have employment, severance or change-of-control agreements. Our named executive officers serve at the will of the Board, which enables the Company to terminate their employment with discretion as to the terms of any severance arrangement. This is consistent with the Company’s performance-based employment and compensation philosophy. Of course, the fact that our Chairman of the Board and our Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are members of the France Family Group, which has the ability to elect the entire Board, does impact such discretion in their case. In addition, the time vesting of our plan-based restricted stock awards help retain our executives by subjecting to forfeiture any unvested shares if they leave the company prior to retirement. There are change-of-control provisions associated with each award of such plan-based restricted stock awards.

          Roles of Compensation Committee and Named Executives

Executive Officer Compensation is overseen by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed entirely of independent directors, pursuant to its Charter. A copy of the Charter may be viewed on the Company’s website at www.internationalspeedwaycorporation.com.

Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year the Compensation Committee establishes a total pool of dollars to be used for increases in annual salary compensation for all Company employees, including all of the named executive officers. In setting this total pool of dollars the members of the Compensation Committee consider a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, historic and projected earnings per share, anticipated revenue growth, established salary ranges and market conditions. The committee members then use their collective business judgment to establish the total pool of dollars for increases in annual salary compensation.

Under the direction of the CEO the proposed salaries, individual performance goals and targeted bonuses for each of the other named executive officers are presented to the Compensation Committee which reviews and approves them. The Committee considers (1) Company and individual performance as measured against management goals approved by the Board of Directors, (2) personal performance in support of International Speedway Corporation’s goals as measured by annual evaluation criteria, and (3) intangible factors and criteria such as payments by competitors for similar positions and market movement although no particular weighting of the factors or formula is used.

Each of the named executive officers is assigned a target bonus opportunity based on corporate and personal goals for the year. The actual bonus for each named executive officer will range from 0% to more than 150% of the target depending upon results of corporate and personal performance during the year. The current corporate financial measurements are earnings per share based on budget, revenue based on budget, operating margin based on budget and the ratio of debt to capitalization. Both the targets and the actual performance are determined on a normalized basis and may vary from year to year as established by the Compensation Committee. Fifty percent of the target bonus opportunity for the named officers will be based upon the Compensation Committee’s discretionary judgment of the individual’s overall performance during the fiscal plan year.

Mr. James C France stepped down from his role as Chief Executive Officer effective June 1, 2009. He remains Chairman of the Board of Directors in a non-executive capacity. Also effective June 1, 2009, Ms. Kennedy became Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Saunders became President, and Mr. VanDerSnick became Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the recommended corporate performance goals and objectives which are used in establishing plan-based incentive compensation for all of the named executive officers.

          Compensation Consultants

Neither the Company nor the Compensation Committee has any contractual arrangement with any compensation consultant who has a role in determining or recommending the amount or form of senior executive or director compensation. The Company’s named executive officers have not participated in the selection of any particular compensation consultant. The Company obtains market intelligence on compensation trends from a variety of sources through our human resources personnel, with the oversight of the committee. Each year the Company participates in compensation surveys conducted by well-known compensation consultants as a means of understanding external market practices. Except for the foregoing, the Company has not used the services of any other compensation consultant in matters affecting senior executive or director compensation. In the future, either the Company or the Compensation Committee may engage or seek the advice of compensation consultants.

          Equity Grant Practices

The only form of equity compensation currently provided to our named executive officers is awards of shares of restricted stock under our 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan. For each fiscal year the named executive officers are provided an opportunity to be awarded shares of restricted stock based upon the same normalized corporate financial performance measures established for plan-based cash incentive payments. The targeted number of shares is fixed by the Compensation Committee and represents a specified percentage of the named executive officer’s annual base salary based upon the average price of the Company’s publicly traded shares during the fiscal year prior to the establishment of the share target. This targeted share award amount is communicated to the named executive

officers during the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal year. Upon completion of the fiscal year and the financial audit, the Company’s normalized performance against the financial performance measures is evaluated, a percentage of the targeted award to be actually awarded is determined, reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee and the restricted shares are issued in the name of the named executive officers on April 1 following the completion of the fiscal year. The restricted shares then vest over time, with 50% vesting three years after issuance and the remaining 50% vesting five years after issuance. Prior to vesting the recipient may vote the shares and receive dividends on the restricted shares as granted. If employment ends prior to the expiration of the vesting period for reasons acceptable to the Compensation Committee (death, disability, retirement, etc.) all or a portion of the unvested restricted shares may be allowed to vest. Termination of employment for any other reason will result in forfeiture of all unvested shares. The timing of calculations of opportunities, amounts, awards and vesting dates are made solely for administrative efficiency and without regard to earnings or other major announcements by the Company.

          Share Ownership Guidelines

The Company has no equity security ownership guidelines or requirements for the named executive officers.

          Tax Deductibility of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes a $1 million limit on the amount that a public company may deduct for compensation paid to the company’s CEO or any of the company’s four other most highly compensated executive officers who are employed as of the end of the year. None of the individuals covered by Section 162(m) received taxable compensation in excess of the $1 million limit. The amounts shown in the Summary Compensation Table contain components which are not considered taxable income to the individuals under current Internal Revenue Code provisions. The Company does not presently structure any component of executive compensation to meet the requirements under Section 162(m) for “qualifying performance-based” compensation (i.e., compensation paid only if the individual’s performance meets pre-established objective goals based on performance criteria approved by shareholders).

          Potential Impact on Compensation from Executive Misconduct

If the Board should determine that an executive officer has engaged in fraudulent or intentional misconduct, the Board could take action to remedy the misconduct, prevent its recurrence, and impose such discipline on the wrongdoers as would be appropriate. Discipline would vary depending on the facts and circumstances, and may include, without limitation, (1) termination of employment, (2) initiating an action for breach of fiduciary duty, and (3) if the misconduct resulted in a restatement of the company’s financial results, seeking reimbursement of any portion of performance-based or incentive compensation paid or awarded to the executive that is greater than would have been paid or awarded if calculated based on the restated financial results. These remedies would be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any actions imposed by law enforcement agencies, regulators or other authorities.

Elements Used to Achieve Compensation Objectives

          Annual Cash Compensation

Base Salary

Base salaries for our named executive officers depend on the scope of their responsibilities, their performance, and the period over which they have performed those responsibilities. Decisions regarding salary increases take into account the executive’s current salary and the amounts paid to the executive’s peers within and outside the motorsports industry. Base salaries are reviewed annually.

Bonus

Cash bonuses for all of our named executive officers are determined based upon a grading of the personal performance factors to attain a percentage of the target bonus opportunity and are paid annually in January.

Plan-Based Compensation

Plan-based cash incentive compensation for our named executive officers is based upon the grading of corporate financial performance factors to determine the percentage of the target opportunity to be awarded and are also paid annually in January. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to either award compensation absent attainment of the relevant performance goal or to reduce or increase the size of any award of payout.

          Other Plan-Based Compensation

Restricted Stock

The only other plan-based compensation for our named executive officers is the award of shares of restricted stock which vests over time. The amount of these awards is based upon the grading of corporate financial performance factors to determine the percentage of the target opportunity to be awarded and the restricted shares are awarded annually in April. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to either award compensation absent attainment of the relevant performance goal or to reduce or increase the size of any award of payout.

          Other Elements

Other Compensation

We provide our named executive officers with other benefits, reflected in the All Other Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table, that we believe are reasonable, competitive and consistent with the Company’s overall compensation program. We have no deferred compensation or pension plans. The costs of these benefits constitute only a small percentage of each named executive officer’s total compensation, and include premiums paid on life insurance policies and company contributions to a 401(k) plan. The named executive officers also participate in the standard health insurance benefits offered to all employees. We also provide the use of a car provided by the Company and comprehensive physical examinations every other year. The named executive officers are encouraged to attend events at the motorsports entertainment facilities operated by the Company as part of their job function and permitted to bring a guest with them to these events at no charge to the executive.

Compensation for the Named Executive Officers in 2009

          Company Performance

The specific compensation decisions made for each of the named executive officers for 2009 reflect the performance of the Company against specific financial and operational measurements. A significant portion of each of the named executive officer’s plan-based incentive compensation is based upon the Company’s performance against the normalized corporate financial performance measures. Based upon the Company’s performance in fiscal 2009 the portion of each named executive officer’s plan-based incentive compensation was set at 37.5% of the targeted amount. A more detailed analysis of our financial and operational performance is contained in the Management’s Discussion & Analysis section of our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

          CEO Compensation

In determining Ms. Kennedy’s base salary compensation for 2009, the Compensation Committee considered the performance of the Company in fiscal 2008, the general trends of Company performance over the prior several years, outcomes related to growth and development activities and strategic initiatives, market conditions, as well as the responsibilities of the position and her strategic value to the Company. In determining the bonus and incentive portions of her compensation for 2009 the Compensation Committee determined that the discretionary portion of her bonus should be set at 60% of the targeted amount.

          Others

In determining the base salary compensation of Mr. France, Mr. Saunders, Mr. Houser, and Mr. VanDerSnick for 2009 the Compensation Committee considered the same criteria as for the CEO. The Compensation Committee also considered the recommendations based upon evaluation of individual functional area responsibilities and goals as submitted by the CEO.

In determining the bonus and incentive portions of Mr. Saunders, Mr. Houser and Mr. VanDerSnick’s compensation for 2009 the Compensation Committee determined that the discretionary portion of their bonus should be considered with the same criteria as the CEO and accordingly it was set at 60% of the targeted amount.

We believe that the compensation for these individuals is consistent with the Company’s compensation objectives.

Compensation of directors

We pay our non-employee directors:

	•		a $20,000 annual fee which each non-employee director may elect to receive either in cash or options to acquire Class A common stock;
	•		an annual grant of options to acquire Class A common stock in an amount determined by using the Black-Scholes calculation to determine the number of options worth $30,000 at the time the options are issued;
	•		a cash fee of $750 for each meeting of the board of directors attended;
	•		a cash fee of $500 for each meeting of each committee (other than the Audit Committee) of the board of directors attended;
	•		members of the Audit Committee are paid a cash fee of $750 for each meeting of the Audit Committee attended; and

•

the chairman of the Audit Committee is paid an additional $5,000 annual fee which he may elect to receive in either cash or options to acquire Class A common stock.

At the time of the annual meeting of shareholders (presently held in April of each year) the non-employee directors make an election concerning the mix of cash and options with respect to their annual fees. Following the submission of the election, the entire cash portion of the annual fees for the annual meeting to annual meeting period are issued to the directors. For administrative convenience, all options to acquire Class A common stock are issued on July 1 following the annual meeting with an exercise price equal to the closing price on the day of issuance. Options are issued pursuant to the 2006 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, and valued using the Black-Scholes method. The options become exercisable after 1 year and expire at the end of 10 years from issuance. All meeting fees are paid at the time of the meeting.

In addition, we also reimburse directors for all expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.

The amounts shown in the “Fees Earned or Paid in Cash” column of the Director Compensation Table represent the sum of all annual fee and meeting fee cash payments made to the indicated directors during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009. It does not include any expense reimbursement.

The amounts shown in the “Option Awards” column of the Director Compensation Table represent the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 in accordance with FAS 123R, and includes recognition for a portion of the options awarded on July 1, 2008 and for a portion of the options awarded on July 1, 2009.

No director received perquisites and personal benefits with a total value of $10,000 or more during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Compensation Committee members whose names appear on the Compensation Committee Report below were committee members during all of fiscal year 2009. No member of the Compensation Committee is or has been a former or current executive officer of the Company or had any relationships requiring disclosure by the Company under the SEC’s rules requiring disclosure of certain relationships and related party transactions. None of the Company’s executive officers served as a director or a member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any other entity that has or has had one or more executive officers who served as a director or member of the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009.

Performance Graph

The rules of the SEC require us to provide a line graph covering at least the last five fiscal years and comparing the yearly percentage change in our total shareholder return on a class of our common stock with the cumulative total return of a broad equity index, assuming reinvestment of dividends, and the cumulative total return, assuming reinvestment of dividends, of a published industry or line-of-business index; peer issuers selected in good faith; or issuers with similar market capitalization. The graph above compares the cumulative total five year return of our class A common stock with that of the NASDAQ Stock Market Index (U.S. Companies) and with the 40 NASDAQ issues (U.S. companies) listed in SIC codes 7900-7999, which encompasses service businesses in the amusement, sports and recreation industry, which includes indoor operations that are not subject to the impact of weather on operations, and pari-mutual and other wagering operations. We conduct large outdoor sporting and entertainment events that are subject to the impact of weather, and we are not involved in pari-mutual or other wagering. The stock price shown has been estimated from the high and low prices for each quarter for which the close is not available. Because of the unique nature of our business and the fact that public information is available concerning only a limited number of companies involved in the same line of business, and no public information is available concerning other companies in our line of business, we do not believe that the information presented above is meaningful.

VOTING PROCEDURE

With respect to the election of directors, the person receiving a plurality of the votes cast by shares entitled to vote for the position being filled shall be elected. We know of no other items to come before the meeting other than those stated above. On any other item that should come before the meeting, the matter shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast by shares entitled to vote at the meeting.

In advance of the meeting we may appoint one or more inspectors of election or judges of the vote, as the case may be, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector or judge fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled at the meeting by the person presiding. In case of dispute the inspectors or judges, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots and consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate votes, ballots and consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting, the inspector or inspectors or judge or judges, if any, shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by him or them, and execute a certificate of any fact found by him or them.

Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal

We do not anticipate that any matter will be acted upon at the meeting that would give rise to rights of appraisal or similar rights of dissenters.
