The People's Facts - Lifelock.com 400

The polls are open for you to select the People's Pitstop lineup for Saturday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup race. To help you make your selections, here is some information about where our favorite drivers will be hanging out this weekend.

Track basics. Chicagoland Speedway is a 1.5-mile tri-oval located in the Chicago suburb of Joliet, Illinois. That's right. NASCAR fans of a certain age can visit this track and reminisce about the Blues Brothers. And no, that's not Joliet Jake getting into a car. That's just Tony Stewart.

Recent winners: Mark Martin (2009), Kyle Busch (2008), Stewart (2007).

Who wins here a lot? Well, this stat is going to be even less helpful than usual. Since the history of this track's construction is longer than its racing history, only two active NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers have as many as two wins at Chicagoland: Stewart (who also leads active drivers with seven finishes in the top five) and Kevin Harvick.

Is this NASCAR or Food Network? Anyone tuning into race coverage this week will hear the phrase "cookie cutter." And 90% of the time, this phrase will be used to suggest that Chicagoland, because of its similarity to several other 1.5-mile courses, is somehow less than worthy of the title "NASCAR track."

It may seem wrong to put this week's Sprint Cup race on another generic 1.5-mile track, while more "unique" experiences from Nashville Superspeedway to Road America have to settle for Nationwide dates. But here's something to consider: Would you want every week's race to be held someplace like Daytona, where the Big One can turn fantasy NASCAR into a lottery with rear spoilers?
