NASCAR star Chase Elliott and Atlanta Braves legend Chipper Jones came together to take a spin around the track at Bristol, discuss Speedway Classic.
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Chase Elliott is a big Atlanta Braves fan and gave Chipper Jones, one of the best players in Braves history, a ride in a car around Bristol Motor Speedway. The car had a rev limiter, so Elliott couldn't go as fast as he normally would around the 0.533-mile high-banked track . It was still a cool experience for Jones.
The surface of the baseball field will not be on the racetrack itself. 'It looks pretty short — I'm not sure where they had the posts are if it's going to change,' said Elliott as he tried to envision what was asphalt to having a turf field on it. 'It's going to look so much different. And I don't think where they had the numbers up is exactly accurate.' Jones said he wonders how the temporary field will play.
