Reds about to break MLB record thanks to upcoming Speedway Classic

The Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves are getting close to one of the most unique baseball experiences MLB will have ever seen.

The NL foes will take part in the Speedway Classic on Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee.

It'll be the first AL or NL game ever played in the state of Tennessee.

And because of the size of the venue, it's going to set a new MLB attendance record.

The Athletic's Jim Bowden reports: "Saturday's MLB Speedway Classic will break the all-time regular season single-game attendance record, Major League Baseball with more than 85,000 tickets sold to date."

It promises to be a brilliant night for baseball.
