 In 2007, for the first time in Richmond track history, the races were broadcast on regular network television, when the Crown Royal 400 was shown on FOX. Prior to that it was all cable; TBS covered the race during the 1980s and early 1990s, ESPN took over later in the decade, and FX aired it from 2001-2006. Since adopting the Crown Royal Presents "Your Name Here" contest concept, the Jim Stewart 400 was won by Jimmie Johnson in the first Car of Tomorrow victory in 2007, the Dan Lowry 400 was won by Clint Bowyer in 2008, and the Russ Friedman 400 was won by Kyle Busch in 2009. What will be the official name of the race, when Crown Royal presents the next Your Name Here 400 on May 1, 2010? To find out that name and to see who actually wins the race, order tickets now and enjoy an exciting evening of racing at Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Virginia.
