Just before the NASCAR Playoffs take the green flag in Atlanta, and on the heels of Friday’s announcement of the Major League Baseball Speedway Classic presented by BuildSubmarines.com in Bristol, TN, the Braves will host a NASCAR Night at Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta on September 6.
The Cincinnati Reds and the Atlanta Braves will play a national regular season game in the MLB Speedway Classic at Tennessee’s Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday, August 2, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. (ET) on FOX. The MLB Speedway Classic, which is presented by BuildSubmarines.com, will mark the first American or National League game ever played in Tennessee, which will become the fifth different state across the country since 2016 to host an MLB game that will be a first-time AL or NL contest. A baseball diamond ready for a Major League game will be built across the famed Bristol track at one of the largest standalone sporting venues in the nation.
Braves and NASCAR fans will be able to celebrate early by attending the September 6 game at Truist Park, when the Braves take on the Toronto Blue Jays. The Battery Atlanta will be an ode to NASCAR for fans to enjoy pregame. Battery Avenue will be lined with a dozen pace and show cars, from Atlanta Motor Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, and more. Fans will be able to take photos with the cars as well as some of the sport’s most coveted trophies.
NASCAR Night will feature photo opportunities, interactive stations, and special appearances by some fan favorite NASCAR drivers. NASCAR drivers will be integrated into the pregame ceremony with the celebratory First Pitch, ‘Play Ball,’ and more.
NASCAR Night at Truist Park will also get fans revved up for the opening round of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs at Atlanta Motor Speedway. 16 drivers will race into the Hampton, Ga., track with championship hopes on the line. On-track action begins Saturday morning with qualifying sessions for the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Cup Series, followed by the Focused Health 250 at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7.
