Major League Baseball is about to get even faster.

According to reports, the Atlanta Braves will take on the Cincinnati Reds at Bristol Motor Speedway in August of 2025, a first for Major League Baseball.

Bristol Motor Speedway is no stranger to hosting events without motors, including two college football games back in 2016. The half mile oval is one of NASCAR's most anticipated races every year due to the large crowds and more crowded turns.

No word yet on how officials plan on squeezing a baseball diamond on the track, but the stands will have plenty of seats as the track fits 150,000 spectators for races. Fans are throwing out some interesting ideas to spice up the game.

MLB has found success lately with playing games on the road. Earlier this season MLB opened the season in Asia with a series between the Padres and Dodgers, plus another series between the Astros and Rockies went down in Mexico City.

MLB has had some high profile "road" games, in 2021 when the Yankees and White Sox faced off in Iowa on the field where the movie Field of Dreams was filmed. Huge ratings, and a walk-off win gave MLB a huge win, and the league went back in 2022 when the Reds and Cubs faced off.

This season MLB paid homage to the Negro Leagues when the Cardinals and Giants faced off at Rickwood Field in Alabama, home site of the Negro League Birmingham Barons.

Bristol Motor Speedway has a press conference announced for Friday, Aug. 9.

Wood is host of the 'Taste of Country Mornings with Wood and Nicole' that can be heard every morning from 6-10am CST on the 'Taste of Country' app, on local affiliates where available and online at tasteofcountry.com.

Top 20 Songs of 2024, Ranked (So Far)

New country artists rule this Top Country Songs of 2024 list, but that doesn't mean traditional country isn't represented early and often.

Zach Top and Ella Langley are two newcomers that purists may enjoy, while fans of more progressive country music will appreciate Jelly Roll, Post Malone and Shaboozey.

Airplay charts, sales data and streaming numbers helped make this list of country music's Top 20 Songs of 2024, but staff and Taste of Country reader opinion were most influential.

Songs included on previous Top Country Songs lists were not eligible. A song may have been released in 2023, but it had to have the majority of recorded airplay or impact this year to count.

Country Artists Who Are Unrecognizable Without Their Signature Looks

While country artists are most known for their music and the lyrics they write, there are a few who you could pick out of a lineup based on their silhouette. In other words, there are several artist who are known for their sense of style just as much as they are known for their songs.

Take for instance, Lainey Wilson's bell bottoms. Her vintage western look is not only becoming on her, but it's also by design. Her one-of-a-kind style was born out of a need to stand out from the crowd and now it's become a part of who she is.

For others artists, their signature look may be a ball cap or sunglasses. These items are so engrained with an artist that it's almost uncomfortable to see them without them. But we went there anyway.
