Well , D.O. titled this thread " NASCAR $$$$ - 31% Down " , which of course , is entirely incorrect.
As NASCAR is privately held , you'll never see their operating report stated as given here for ISC. NASCAR and ISC are two separate entities.
ISC is a publicly traded corporation that remains profitable in this troubled economy.

If you sort out the numbers , the "net income" is most important and is $11.1 million less in this past quarter as compared to a year ago. This number is actually an improvement over earlier projections. So some things are not as bad as could have been , which is a credit to the ISC management and in particular to Ms. Lesa France Kennedy. ISC will continue to make some adjustments necessary as they continue to work through this recession.

To confuse ISC as NASCAR and to wish harm to either is simply foolish as in example -
Motorsports in Indiana accounts for more than $ 700 Million dollars to the local and state economies with approximately 31% of that coming from a single event known as the " Allstate 400 at the Brickyard ".
All that plus 15,000 motorsports jobs in Indiana with most here in Marion and Hendricks counties.
Be careful what you wish for.
