"We are pleased to report second quarter results again exceeding our expectations," stated ISC CEO LESA FRANCE KENNEDY. "The attendance upturn that started with TALLADEGA in the Contender round of the 2014 Championship Chase continues to build, and this is the third consecutive quarter we have seen an increase in average ticket price for comparable events, demonstrating a solid trend in the resurgence of our core business." Second quarter non-GAAP revenue, operating income and EPS exceed the 2014 quarter after normalizing for the DARLINGTON CUP weekend move to the fourth quarter in 2015, the FANATICS merchandise strategy transition and DAYTONA RISING related depreciation ... We are confident about our financial condition and our strategic initiatives to grow our business. We maintain a solid balance sheet that makes possible strategic developments and acquisitions that build shareholder value.  As well we are executing consumer and corporate programs that complement our industry's long-term broadcast agreements, all supporting revenue growth."
