Speedway Classic Resumes-Braves Triumph 4–2 in Speedway Classic Finale at Bristol

The Atlanta Braves stormed back to beat the Cincinnati Reds 4–2 in the rain-delayed MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway, turning it into a historic and unforgettable victory.

A crowd of 91,032 fans—a record for a regular-season MLB game—witnessed baseball collide with NASCAR in Tennessee’s first-ever major league baseball event.

💥 How Atlanta Sealed the Win

• Eli White was the star of the game, launching a three-run homer in the 2nd inning (giving the Braves a 3–1 lead) and a solo shot in the 7th, finishing with a stellar 4 RBI day. 
• Hurston Waldrep, making his MLB debut, delivered 5⅔ innings of one-run ball to earn his first career win after being called up from Triple-A that morning. 
• The Reds had a 1–0 lead entering Sunday, based on an RBI knock by Austin Hays before Saturday’s rain suspension. Rookie Chase Burns struck out two in a perfect inning before becoming unavailable. 
• Despite a spirited comeback attempt, Cincinnati left 12 men on base and went just 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position.

In the end, the Speedway Classic delivered far more than a novelty—it gave baseball a bold new stage and fans a game to remember. From Eli White’s heroics to Hurston Waldrep’s dream debut, the Braves’ 4–2 victory capped a weekend of firsts with flair. Whether it’s the roaring crowd of 91,000 or the image of a baseball diamond laid across a NASCAR track, this game etched its place in MLB history—and it may not be the last of its kind.
