The LifeLock.com 400[1] is a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held annually at the Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois. In 2007 it was announced that the 2008 race would become a night race after being held as a day time race for the past 7 years.[2]
[edit] Race History
Introduced in 2001 to the NASCAR circuit as the Tropicana 400, the LifeLock.com 400 is a relatively new race. It has seen five different winners in its first six years, with Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart being the only repeat winners. The race is now sponsored by Lifelock, a fraud-prevention company that sponsored the Kansas 400 last year and sponsors the first Michigan race.
