Leading promoter of motor sports entertainment activities in the US and owns and or operates 12 of the nation's major motor sports facilities.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

The attendance issue at ISC tracks, as well as the erosion of some of NASCAR'S market share due to the unification of the open wheel series and sponsorship woes many teams are having right now make me think the next few years are going to be rough on the sport, even rougher on the stock.

the rapid growth of nascar in the late 90's early-mid 2000's has long cooled down. attendance at many ISC tracks for NASCAR are down, and I expect them to level or drop further. NASCAR is alienating much of its traditional fan base who don't like the influx of foreign born drivers and foreign manufacturer nameplates in the sport. Its growth into the international market has been iffy at best (mexico city attendance down).





The unified indy car series is picking up momentum and getting more mainstream media coverage. This may eventually cut into NASCARs coverage, and indy car may even take some of nascars sponsors in a few years. although the indycar series currently races at 5 ISC tracks, ISCs relationship with the IRL has been poor (due to ISCs close relationship it NASCAR, and the IRL is a competitor to NASCAR); indycar previously raced in as many 8 ISC tracks and the number will probably drop to 4 next year and maybe further.





Rising oil prices will hurt nascar significantly, and in turn, ISC. NASCAR is not exploring alternative fuel and alternative energy technologies like ethanol, turbo diesels, or regenitive braking, etc like IRL, ALMS, F1 are. In addition to the rising costs hurting teams and fans (transportation costs) NASCARs image will look environmentally unfriendly as "green" becomes more fashionable.





NASCAR really has nowhere to go but down at this point, and I expect NASCAR to pull down ISC, even more then SMI.
