Baseball is gearing up to hit top speed in a unique venue. On Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway, the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds get set to battle it out in front of a record crowd in the first-ever MLB Speedway Classic.
Bristol Motor Speedway received a makeover in preparation for the event, with a fully constructed MLB field in the middle of the NASCAR race track. With such a large venue, which has a capacity of just below 150,000, the event is bound to set a single-game MLB attendance record.
For players, fans and media types, one of the hottest topics leading into the glitzy showcase involved a large-scale magic act that will unfold on Aug. 2 in Bristol, Tennessee.
