AJ Foyt, although I'm not sure if he's the officially recognized record holder.
Can't give you exactly how fast without looking it up. 250-something. Did it at a test track in Ft. Stockton, TX. in a Quad 4 Olds Aerotech,

Don't want to squash anything here, but the title of the thread is NASCAR Trivia. If what ol' AJ was testing was for NASCAR, then okay. Just sayin'.

Rusty Wallace had a closed course practice at Talledega without a restrictor plate. He ran an average lap of 216+. The vehicle was a 2000 Taurus.

Geoff Bodine, 1994 North Wilksboro? I know it's been done but I believe this was the last time.

Hey don't forget AJ has 8 NASCAR Wins including the Daytona 500 in 72? along with 4 Indy 500 Wins, a 24hr of Lemans Win 2 IROC Championships and a pile of other Championships.
i brought the closed course thing into it because many believe it's held by Bill Elliot and it's not.

Well, when a car is in a certain setup, the engineer or CC will put some tape on the nose to identify which setup was being used during said segment. Practice setups usually.

they're the two horizontal lines to the left of the Wix decal, go figure
They declare the manufacturer and part # and cannot be covered. There's only certain part #'s NASCAR approves. Robby Gordon was busted for this some time ago. Go figure......

Dodge's return to Winston Cup racing in 2001 after a 15 year abscence netted them how many wins their first season back?
Bonus: What finishing position in the season standings was their top driver that year?

I have to admit, I'm lost as to what to ask next, so someone else is welcome to post the next question.

when Chicagoland Speedway opened just outside of Joliet, Illinois in 2001, it became (at a minimum) the third venue in the state of Illinois to host a NASCAR Cup race
name one of the other two Illinois venues, besides Chicagoland, that has hosted a Cup race
bonus points for getting both of them

Bill Elliott made his first Cup start way back on Feb. 29th, 1976. What car number did he run, what color was the car and where did he finish?

The car was his famous number 9, I think the color was powder blue, and he finished 33rd.

Good enough. I think the color was white however, but maybe it was a really faded powder blue. Yer up.

Upon further review, both cars existed. I would guess the car from the first start was probably white.
Alright, this one may be a little tricky. What is the connection between Ricky Craven, Ron Hornaday, Randy Lajoie and Wally Dallenbach?
buckaroo

I can tell you that they all drove for Hendrick at one time or another. ???

Well I guess that's not wrong, but they all have a more specific connection. A hint, part of the answer does have to do with Hendrick, while another part is completely separate.
