The MLB Speedway Classic, initially postponed due to rain, attracted a record 91,032 fans on Sunday as the Atlanta Braves triumphed over the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Despite a rocky start for Braves' pitcher Austin Cox, who replaced Spencer Strider, the team rallied back with solid performance from rookie Hurston Waldrep, who secured his first win with 5 ⅔ innings of one-run ball.

Eli White led the Braves offense with two home runs and four RBIs. As the ninth inning approached, the Reds threatened with the tying run, but Braves' closer Raisel Iglesias successfully secured the victory with three outs. This event marked a historic moment for Tennessee, being the first game involving National or American League teams in the state, surpassing the previous attendance record set in 1954.
