NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin is set to make history as he approaches the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway, aiming for a third consecutive victory after wins at Martinsville and Darlington. This achievement would not only solidify Hamlin's legacy but also mark the first time two drivers from Joe Gibbs Racing have achieved three-race win streaks in a single season. Meanwhile, Hamlin is also excited about NASCAR's cultural crossover with Major League Baseball, as the Bristol Motor Speedway will host its first MLB game between the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves on August 2, 2025, showcasing the growing collaboration between the two sports.

The event, dubbed the MLB Speedway Classic, highlights NASCAR's efforts to expand its audience, paralleling its recent initiatives like street racing in Chicago. Hamlin's success at Bristol, a track where he has excelled, positions him well to make history in both his racing career and the sports landscape.
