Caution flag: Soggy scenes from MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol between Reds and Braves
As American as hot dogs and apple pie: a rain delay during a summer baseball game. The MLB Speedway Classic was no match for Mother Nature's schedule, with Bristol Motor Speedway getting drenched by multiple storm fronts that moved through the area. Both Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds fans and the teams have been left to wait it out, hoping for any sign of a letup, while the grounds crew does their best to keep the field as playable as possible. "It kind of a bummer," noted FOX Sports broadcaster Kevin Burkhardt Tomorrow's another day, though, which happens to be when the game will resume — at 1 p.m. EDT. Until then, here's the best photos from around Bristol Motor Speedway MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic MLB Speedway Classic

SEC Stadium capacities ranked from smallest to largest
Part of what makes the Oklahoma Sooners' schedule so difficult this season is the incredible stadiums they'll be playing in. SEC play takes you through some of the best college football environments in the sport. From Death Valley to The Swamp, the Southeastern Conference is filled with American cathedrals and coliseums. Saturdays in the south are set aside for football with iconic venues and passionate fanbases. In the SEC, there are five stadiums that are capable of holding more than 100,000 people and another five that can fit 80,000 or more. The ACC has just one stadium with a capacity of more than 80,000: Clemson. The Big Ten has five schools with a capacity over 80,000, while the Big 12's biggest stadium, BYU's LaVell Edwards Stadium, holds just 62,073. 13 SEC schools have a bigger stadium than BYU.

Jase Summy adds Western Amateur, the 'biggest win of my life,' to Walker Cup resumé
Few players, if any, have had better summers than Ethan Fang. The Oklahoma State standout helped the Cowboys to an NCAA Championship in late May before flying across the pond and becoming the first American to win the British Amateur in nearly 20 years. After narrowly missing the cut at The Open, Fang co-medaled at this week's Western Amateur before storming through to the final with convincing wins over Huge Le Goff and Jacob Modleski, plus a hard-fought 3-and-1 result against Ben James. Like James, Fang is already on the U.S. Walker Cup team that will compete at Cypress Point this September. So, too, are Jackson Koivun, Michael La Sasso and Preston Stout, which leaves five spots still up for grabs. But on Saturday afternoon at Skokie Country Club, Jase Summy entered the chat. Summy, a rising senior at Oklahoma, dominated Fang, 6 and 5, to win the 123rd edition of the Western Amateur and tie the championship record for largest margin of victory in a final, equaling 6-and-5 marks by Phelps B. Hoyt (1901 over Bruce D. Smith) and John Klauk (2002 over Adam Rubinson). 'This is the biggest win of my life – by far,' Summy said. 'I knew my game was there, but I hadn't quite broken through. Today, I did.' Fang, ranked third in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, took just one hole against Summy, whom he grew up playing junior golf against in Texas. Fresh off a 19-hole victory over Florida's Zack Swanwick, Summy won five of the last six to end things before the 14th hole. 'It was a good week,' Fang said. 'Stroke play went great, and I was proud to co-medal. I did my best to stay focused, but I got a little tired and a little loose near the end. It didn't go my way, but that's golf.' Summy is projected to rise to seventh in the world, and with a T-3 at the Southern Amateur and T-12 at the Northeast Amateur this summer following a junior season that included a win and six other top-10s, he should feel confident about getting the call for Cypress. The final five Walker Cuppers are named after the U.S. Amateur, which begins a week from Monday at Olympic Club in San Francisco. With his win, Summy also received a sponsor exemption into next summer's NV5 Invitational, the Korn Ferry Tour stop outside of Chicago. 'This was a long, tough week,' Summy added. 'I prepared the right way, mentally and physically. I know I'm on the right path.'
