"Ladies and gentlemen, start your heavy-duty machinery engines."
That's the latest command at Bristol Motor Speedway.
With its spring race in the books, the 0.533-mile oval track will turn its attention to Major League Baseball, which will play its first game in the state of Tennessee there on Aug. 2, when the Atlanta Braves face the Cincinnati Reds in the MLB Speedway Classic.
The transformation from 146.000-capacity race track to MLB stadium is scheduled to begin in the coming weeks and is the latest in a line of games at non-traditional sites.
