In a jaw-dropping crossover of America’s favorite pastimes, Major League Baseball has transformed the legendary Bristol Motor Speedway into a full-fledged ballpark. On August 2, the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds will take the field for the first-ever MLB game hosted at a NASCAR track—and the first official league game ever played in Tennessee.

 

Key Points

• Historic Venue: First MLB game at a racetrack and first AL/NL matchup in Tennessee.

• Custom Swag: Racing-inspired uniforms and helmets feature checkered flags and flame motifs.

• Big Show: Tim McGraw headlines the pre-game concert with special guest Pitbull.
