212 mpg in GT500 Cobra? Talladega, Ala. — Bill Elliott recorded the fastest lap ever in a stock car when he drove a Ford Thunderbird 212.089 miles per hour in a qualifying effort at Talladega Superspeedway in 1987. On Wednesday, driving a Hajek Motorsports E-85 powered Ford Mustang FR500C, Elliott will try to surpass that mark and establish a new closed course speed record for an E-85-powered car. Both Elliott and Brent Hajek discussed this week’s attempt.

Awesome Bill's 212 mph record was established on a qualifying lap within Nascar rules.
Not long afterwards for publicity the follks at FORD had the Elliott's bring a car to Talladega that was outside of the rules for Janet Guthrie to drive and I believe she ran a 228 mph. I know Bill woulda gone 235 at least!
