Few have had the chance to race him. Countless fans have dreamed of beating him.
For years, competitors have been selected from the crowd at Atlanta Braves games for a chance to take on The Freeze in one of baseball's most iconic in-game traditions. This year, RaceTrac gave one lucky fan the opportunity to skip the sidelines and step onto the field through the Beat The Freeze Sweepstakes.

On September 12, 2026, the winner took on The Freeze in front of thousands of Braves fans at Truist Park, racing down the warning track for bragging rights and a chance to win a grand prize. While the outcome is now part of Braves lore, the experience itself was one the winner will never forget.
