KNOXVILLE – It’s finally going to happen.

The football game at Bristol Motor Speedway between Tennessee and Virginia Tech has long been discussed and pondered, but the matchup never materialized.

Now it has.

ESPN’s Joe Schad and CBS Sports’ Bruce Feldman reported Wednesday evening the Hokies and Volunteers will meet at the 160,000-seat speedway in 2016, and though Tennessee officials had no official comment, a source confirmed the two reports.

Bristol Motor Speedway announced it had scheduled a Monday news conference to make a “major announcement.”
