BRISTOL, Tenn. — It was a crimson flag for Main League Baseball at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday night time.
The Speedway Basic between the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds was suspended within the first inning due to rain, soaking a record-breaking crowd for the primary regular-season recreation in Tennessee. The plan is to renew the sport on Sunday afternoon.
The primary delay on the historic bullring of a racetrack got here after the ceremonial first pitch that includes a pair of Corridor of Famers in Johnny Bench and Chipper Jones, joined by NASCAR drivers Kyle Busch and Chase Elliott. The second with one out within the backside of the primary led to the sport being pushed again a day, very like a crimson flag in motorsports.
Followers who caught out the primary delay began heading towards the exits earlier than the sport was delayed till Sunday.
It was an unwelcome detour for the long-planned occasion mixing baseball and NASCAR.
