For the first time ever, an MLB game is being held at the center of a race track.

The Braves and Reds will face off in the 2025 MLB Speedway Classic, a specialty game that is expected to break the league's single-game attendance record. Baseball will be meeting motorsports, as the teams will face off on a field that was constructed inside a stadium that was built for NASCAR races.

Saturday's matchup will also mark the first-ever MLB game in the state of Tennessee.

Where is the MLB Speedway Classic?

• Location: Bristol, Tennessee

The MLB Speedway Classic will be played in Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn. Known as "The Last Great Colosseum," the venue first opened in 1961 and has been holding NASCAR races for decades.

However, this isn't the first non-racing event held at Bristol Motor Speedway. In 1961, an exhibition NFL game between Washington and Philadelphia was held in the stadium. Additionally, two college football games in 2013 were played there; the first was a Tennessee-Virginia Tech matchup in 2013, and the other was between East Tennessee State and Western Carolina.

Not only will the MLB game be historic for taking place in the environment of a race track, but it will also be the league's first-ever game in Tennessee.

How big is the MLB Speedway Classic stadium?

Bristol Motor Speedway holds a capacity of 146,000, so, MLB should have room for plenty of fans, which is one of the reasons why the game is expected to break the all-time attendance record of 84,587.

MLB announced it was "set to break" that record with more than 85,000 tickets sold as of July 28.
