Historic MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway Delayed by Rain
The MLB Speedway Classic, featuring a game between the Braves and Reds at Bristol Motor Speedway, experienced multiple rain delays, leading to the suspension of the matchup after less than an inning of play. Fans were excited to attend the first-of-its-kind event, which was set to break attendance records with over 85,000 tickets sold. Despite the rain postponing the game until Sunday, the enthusiasm remains high among attendees, as MLB transforms the NASCAR venue into a baseball field for this historic occasion. Preparations to donate the field turf to ETSU baseball adds to the significance of this event, marking a unique intersection of baseball and NASCAR.
