The MLB Just Had a Classic NASCAR Experience, Speedway Classic Rained Out Until Sunday
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." The MLB got more of the NASCAR experience than it bargained for when heavy rain in Bristol, Tennessee culminated in a late start of the Speedway Classic Saturday, and finally a complete rainout with the game set to resume at 1:00 PM EST on Sunday. The Reds lead the Braves 1-0. In 2024, more than half of the weekends that NASCAR raced were affected by rain, starting with the Daytona 500 being rained out until Monday. Fox Sports' Bob Pockrass pointed out in a post on X that this rain delay comes in a NASCAR season that has defied odds, as there have been zero races in a NASCAR national series postponed to the next date nearly two-thirds of the way into the season. There were more than 85,000 tickets sold for the game, breaking the league record of 84,587 set on September 12, 1954, when Cleveland Stadium hosted the New York Yankees, as reported by NASCAR earlier this week. Hopefully, fans will make the trip back to Bristol on Sunday, following more than three hours of sitting in the rain while waiting to watch baseball. The MLB on Fox booth filled the three hours of rain delay with NASCAR-related hijinks. Players were driven around Bristol Motor Speedway in the back of Chevrolet Silverados while Cincinnati Reds mascot "Mr. Red" was driven around in a Corvette. Two NASCAR Cup Champions, Chase Elliott and Kyle Busch, flew into the game after finishing practice and qualifying at Iowa Speedway to sit with the booth, but sadly left before the little bit of baseball that was played began. Ahead of the race, former NASCAR team owner Pitbull performed along with country music star Tim McGraw. The starting lineup was announced for each team by NASCAR pit crews performing pit stops on cars with Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds branded liveries, with each player's number displayed on pit road signs. The broadcast brought back the Bullpen Cart, allowing Atlanta Braves mascot Blooper to drive 13 laps around the track in a big baseball-helmet-shaped cart before reeling him in. The game will resume on Sunday and will now be in direct competition with the NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa Speedway, starting 30 minutes before the race is set to go green.

Rain suspends MLB Speedway Classic until Sunday
Heavy rain washed out Major League Baseball's "Speedway Classic" on Saturday, suspending play in the first inning and postponing the finish at Bristol Motor Speedway until Sunday. A record MLB regular-season crowd of more than 85,000 spectators was expected to watch the unique contest on a specially built ballpark on the infield of the US stock car oval track. Instead, the Cincinnati Reds grabbed a 1-0 lead over the Atlanta Braves moments before the contest was halted. "We're going to suspend tonight's game. We'll be back tomorrow," MLB senior vice president of on-field opertions Michael Hill said. "We're optimistic there's a better weather forecast for tomorrow." Each team had a day off scheduled Sunday to allow for such a postponement, but whether or not the scene could recapture the special pre-game atmosphere of Saturday was uncertain. The expected crowd would have broken the MLB regular-season attendance mark of 84,587 set in 1954 at Cleveland Stadium when the New York Yankees faced the Cleveland Indians. "It's pretty incredible, man. This place is full," Cincinnati's Spencer Steer said as he looked at the stands before the game. "Never really dreamed of this. You think of 85,000 people you think of NFL or college football. A very incredible opportunity." The iconic 64-year-old US stock car high-banked oval racetrack in rural northeastern Tennessee typically fills all 146,000 seats for NASCAR series races. "It's awesome," Atlanta's Austin Riley said. "Any time you can go outside the boundaries of the baseball world and do something new like this and bring baseball and NASCAR together, it's unbelievable." In 2016, a collegiate American football game in the speedway infield dubbed the Battle at Bristol drew 156,990 fans to see Tennessee beat Virginia Tech 45-24. An NFL exhibition game on the Bristol infield between Washington and Philadelphia in 1961 drew only 8,500 spectators back when seating capacity was only 18,000. MLB built a baseball field in the infield between turns three and four, bringing in several tons of gravel to create a level field and removing a building from what would become the outfield. - History in the making - "These games are special," Braves manager Brian Snitker said. "There's history in the making right here, something nobody has ever done, so it's an honor to do this." A storm arrived just before the scheduled start to delay the opening pitch by almost 2.5 hours. Cincinnati scored the first run when Matt McLain, Elly De La Cruz and Austin Hays hit three singles in a row with one out in the first inning, rain already puddling on the left side of the infield. Play was stopped moments later. "Got wet really fast," Hays said. "I was kind of shocked when I got up there. The (batters') box is soaked already so they made the decision we need to try to dry it up just enough. "It has been a fun experience but the game is why we're here so we've got to get it in." The Reds are 58-53, 3.5 games behind San Diego for the last National League wild card playoff berth, while the Braves, the 2021 World Series champions, are 46-63. MLB's previous regular-season games at special venues included at the Field of Dreams movie ballpark in an Iowa cornfield in 2021 and 2022. MLB has also staged regular-season games in Australia, South Korea, Japan, England, Mexico and Puerto Rico. js/bb
