The MLB Speedway Classic between the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds is a multi-year project to turn the racetrack into a baseball facility.

Bristol Motor Speedway will host the highest attendance for a single game in MLB history when the Braves face the Reds on Aug. 2 at the unique venue.

The ceremonial first pitch before the Speedway Classic will feature two Hall of Famers who spent their entire careers representing the two competing teams. Former Braves superstar Chipper Jones will throw the first pitch to another one of the all-time greats, former Reds catcher Johnny Bench.
