The Hollywood heavyweight, whose new film “Heart of the Beast” hits theaters just days later, is teaming up with Bass Pro founder Johnny Morris—a fellow Springfield, Missouri native—to spotlight conservation and honor veterans and first responders. With Jerry Caldwell calling Bristol “The Last Great Colosseum,” Pitt’s presence promises to electrify one of racing’s most legendary nights, blending cinematic glamour with roaring engines in a crossover fans won’t forget.
