The inaugural Speedway Classic baseball game between the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves at Bristol Motor Speedway was delayed by rain and suspended after the first inning, with the Reds leading 1-0. The game will resume on August 3rd at 1 p.m. Heavy rain impacted the start time, pushing the first pitch to 9:41 p.m., and led to several lineup changes, including the late arrival of Reds outfielder Miguel Andujar, who had a whirlwind journey to join the team. The unusual setting featured concurrent concerts by Tim McGraw and Pitbull.
