On August 2, the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves will face off at Bristol Motor Speedway as part of MLB's new Speedway Classic series. It will be the first regular season American or National League game ever played in the state of Tennessee and will feature unique race-themed uniforms for both teams to wear.

Workers have some finishing touches to put on the field inside the racetrack at Bristol Motor Speedway, where officials are expecting a record crowd to watch the Cincinnati Reds play the Atlanta Braves in the MLB Speedway Classic next Saturday.

For players, fans and media types, one of the hottest topics leading into the glitzy showcase involved a large-scale magic act that will unfold on Aug. 2 in Bristol, Tennessee.

Motor Speedway won't be filled with the deafening sound of roaring engines. Instead, fans will watch a regular-season MLB game at the racetrack.
