Since then, the racetrack has rarely been used as a music venue.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, promoters moved Hwy 30 Music Fest \u2013 an annual event in Idaho \u2013 to the Speedway for a successful country-oriented fest. But Hwy 30 canceled its 2024 event at the racetrack due to poor ticket sales for a lineup headlined by Nelly, Vanilla Ice and Color Me Badd.<\/p>\n<p><i>Arts Access is an arts journalism collaboration powered by The Dallas Morning News and KERA.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>This community-funded journalism initiative is funded by the Better Together Fund, Carol &amp; Don Glendenning, City of Dallas OAC, Communities Foundation of Texas, The University of Texas at Dallas, The Dallas Foundation, Eugene McDermott Foundation, James &amp; Gayle Halperin Foundation, Jennifer &amp; Peter Altabef and The Meadows Foundation.
