The LifeLock 400 is the first of two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car races held at the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan, the other being the 3M Performance 400. In 2006, 3M signed a three-year agreement to sponsor the race, but after one year moved its sponsorship to the August race. Starting with the 2008 race, LifeLock will have title sponsorship rights for three years pending the announcement by the speedway.[1] The LifeLock 400 was the name of the race formerly known as the Banquet 400 in 2007.
This particular event had one of the longer title sponsorship arrangements. Miller Brewing Company sponsored the race from 1984-1998.
The 1999 race, won by Dale Jarrett, went without a caution. At an average speed of 173.997 mph, it set the NASCAR all-time record for a 400-mile race.
