Turning a race track into a baseball field worthy of hosting Major League Baseball takes time and a plan. Demolition started in early June with heavy construction now in high gear to transform Bristol Motor Speedway into a ballpark for the Aug. 2 Speedway Classic between the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds. Bristol has loads of experience with extreme track makeovers. This track hosted a college football game in the Battle of Bristol, drawing an NCAA-record 156,990 fans in 2016. It has a chance to set an MLB attendance record at the Speedway Classic.
