Quote of the Day
It represents an opportunity for us to really focus in on having as many fans as possible at an event and to create a natural tie-in with another sport that is very much geared towards the same things that we’ve been driving towards the last few years -- around speed, and being fast and bold.
-- MLB SVP/Global Events Jeremiah Yolkut, on the reasons for hosting this weekend's MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway.
