International Speedway Corporation Announces Increased Security for Events
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., (September 20, 2001) -- International Speedway
Corporation (ISC) announced today that, due to recent tragic events and
continuing concerns, all of the company's operational subsidiaries will
increase security at events. Some of the new procedures are:
* No backpacks, coolers, large bags and/or large camera bags will be
allowed into the grandstand area for future ISC events.
* All items brought through the gate area (purses, scanners, small
camera bags, binoculars, etc.) are subject to inspection by security
officials.
* None of the above items can be left in or around the gate area.
* Fans are encouraged to limit the size and type of any bag brought into
the facility.
The tracks will work to minimize any inconvenience that these new
practices may cause, including the reduction of concession pricing at
tracks that formerly allowed coolers.
Increased security must take precedence at this time and ISC will
continue to focus on providing a safe environment at its future events.
Therefore in addition to these new practices, ISC will implement
increased security measures, including an increased law enforcement
presence on site and K-9 units in some areas. As well, media,
employees, temporary staffing, volunteers, sponsor representatives,
VIPs, teams, and others holding a credential, will have to show a valid
photo ID before entering the property.
