The Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves are headed to Bristol Motor Speedway in August for a matchup at The Last Great Colosseum in Bristol, Tenn. in the 2025 MLB Speedway Classic. It's the first regular season Major League Baseball game played in the state of Tennessee, and the two squads released special uniforms to celebrate the occasion.

Both teams will see their traditional threads spruced up with racing-themed details. Jersey numbers on the front and back are adjusted with NASCAR-esque numbering. Plus, each team has a new cap—racing flames on the brim for the Braves and a checkered flag print on the Reds' hat.

A full baseball diamond was constructed in the infield at Bristol Motor Speedway for the contest between the Reds and Braves which will take place on Aug. 2. The track has a maximum capacity of just below 150,000. The MLB had to pull out all the stops for a game unlike any other.
