The Crown Royal Presents the Your Name Here 400 is a NASCAR
Sprint Cup stock car race
held at the Richmond International Raceway
in Richmond
, Virginia

names the race after the winner of an essay contest during Daytona Speedweeks. The winner of the first essay contest was Jim Stewart from Houma, Louisiana
, with subsequent contests won by Dan Lowry of Columbiana, Ohio
and Russ Friedman of Huntington, New York, with the 2010 race being named for Army veteran Heath Calhoun of Clarksville, Tennessee
. Since 2010 only military service members have been eligible to win the contest.
The race is currently held as a Saturday night event in late April. For several years, it was held as a daytime event the weekend after the Daytona 500
in February. Lights were installed at the facility in 1991, but the spring race remained during the day. Consistent cold weather, and even a snow delay in 1989, prompted track officials to move the race later in the spring. The race was moved around to May or June, and permanently moved from Sunday afternoons to Saturday nights. After a few years, the race eventually fixed as a May race date by 1999.
