A record-breaking crowd of 91,032 attended the MLB Speedway Classic in Bristol, Tennessee, despite Saturday's rainout. The Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds game, initially postponed due to inclement weather, resumed Sunday. Despite the initial setback, fans returned, enjoying pre-game festivities featuring Tim McGraw and Pitbull. Eli White's two home runs led the Braves to a 4-2 victory. The event, part of MLB's initiative to expand the game to non-traditional venues, showcased unique features like a fan race and a NASCAR-themed grounds crew. The high attendance, exceeding 85,000 pre-sold tickets, made it the largest regular-season MLB game in history.
