There were plenty of Tennessee Vols fans in attendance on Saturday night/Sunday afternoon for the MLB game at Bristol Motor Speedway between the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds (the game started on Saturday night, but was postponed due to heavy rain).

And those fans made sure they were heard by loudly singing along to Rocky Top on Sunday.

The Braves represent the state of Georgia and the Reds represent the state of Ohio, but both fan bases include a significant number of Vols fans due to their proximity to the Volunteer State.

This is the second time that Rocky Top has blasted through Bristol Motor Speedway in recent years. This fall will mark nine years since Tennessee's win against the Virginia Tech Hokies in the Battle at Bristol.
