AstroTurf, the Official Synthetic Turf Partner of Major League Baseball, has been chosen to provide the playing surface for the MLB Speedway Classic presented by BuildSubmarines.com, a historic matchup between the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds set inside the iconic Bristol Motor Speedway.
For the event, the infield of one of NASCAR’s most legendary venues will be transformed into a professional-grade MLB baseball field in just ten days, an ambitious undertaking made possible by AstroTurf’s Diamond Series system.
“We’re honored to be the turf provider for such an extraordinary event,” said Philip Snider, chief operating officer of AstroTurf Corporation. “Converting a high-speed racing venue into a baseball stadium in just over a week is no small task, but our experienced construction team is built for this kind of challenge. This is more than a game, it is a celebration of innovation, tradition, and the limitless spirit of sport.”
