Tim McGraw To Headline Historic MLB Speedway Classic At Bristol Motor Speedway
Tim McGraw will headline a historic pregame concert event leading into the MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway on Aug. 2.
The historic game marks the first regular-season MLB game to be played in the state of Tennessee and will be celebrated with the one-of-a-kind show featuring McGraw, special guests and longtime collaborators in an unforgettable celebration of music and baseball. For the MLB Speedway Classic, a baseball diamond ready for a Major League game will be built across the famed Bristol track at one of the largest standalone sporting venues in the nation. More information on guests scheduled to appear will be made later.
McGraw has special ties to America’s pastime as his father Tug McGraw was an MLB pitcher who played for the NY Mets and the Phillies and contributed to their World Series victories, making the event not only a historic event for baseball, but also a personal one for McGraw as he honors his father’s legacy.
The special pregame concert will be part of the full day of events at Bristol Motor Speedway. All ticketholders to the MLB Speedway Classic baseball game have access to the show and can enjoy the performance from their seat, and new, limited ticket options for the MLB Speedway Classic will be available starting today (Apr. 23). Details on ticket options and upgrades are available at mlb.com/speedwayclassic.
FOX plans to feature portions of the special performance during their pregame event coverage.
