"We are in the midst of negotiations right now for a new music opportunity for the future," a statement from the speedway read. "In the fall and winter of 2018, the Speedway is continuing to host non-traditional events such as an e-sports tournament, the Magic of Lights holiday display and Challenge Daytona, an international middle-distance triathlon.”
This year, the Country 500 was hosted during Memorial Day weekend with big-name headliners including Toby Keith, Chris Stapleton and Sugarland.
