The MLB Speedway Classic, also known as the MLB Speedway Classic '25, was a Major League Baseball (MLB) specialty game between the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds, which began on August 2, 2025, and continued on the weekend's rain date of August 3, 2025, due to continuing showers and poor field conditions on its original date. The Braves defeated the Reds, 4–2. The game was played in the infield of Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee, the home of a 146,000-seat NASCAR racetrack. This was the first regular-season National League or American League game played in the state of Tennessee.
An attendance of 91,032 set a new all-time regular-season game attendance record, exceeded only by the attendance of 115,300 at a preseason game between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on March 29, 2008.
