Just yesterday, one of those Fools, All-Star joryko, succinctly summed up the bull case for our community:

- Just landed a the "largest media rights deal in NASCAR's history" with a 10 year deal with NBC starting in 2015
-This is only months removed after landing an 8 year-$2.4 billion deal with FOX
-Essentially a content provider to whomever would like to pay them, allowing strong positioning regardless of cable's future
-Dropped its share count from 53 million in 2007 to 46 in 2012, is eyeing future buybacks with a solid balance sheet

Long story short, International Speedway Corp. hasn't been given enough credit for essentially raising its media rights revenue by 50% or more with its new NBC deal. Did I mention media rights account for 46-50% of the company's overall revenues?

I see this one as a special situation type buy and will hold it until the market realizes the value of its new media contracts correctly.
