The rev limiter is there to help the engine from over revving which can cause damage to any moving/rotating part of the engine, pretty much. It cuts the fuel to stop it from going over the rev limit.
Anything could cause a frozen lifter. Holding the car at high rpms for an extended amount of time, misfiring, bad fuel, a spring, etc.

Vigilante375, thanks for the reply. I use my ZL1 1LE as a track car! What is high rpms and what is an extended period of time? My track sessions are 20 minutes at 4k to 6k rpm.
