The 3M Performance 400 is the second NASCAR Sprint Cup stock car race held at the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. Introduced in 1969 as a 600 mile race, it has since been held as a 400 mile race. In 1973 the race was not held when new owner Roger Penske decided to replace it with an IndyCar race. For 2007, the race was renamed to the 3M Performance 400 when 3M and Post-it transferred their sponsorship from the Citizens Bank 400 to the August race.
