Who has the fastest lap time?

Bill Elliott has the fastest qualifying lap in the history of Nascar at an average speed of 212 mph at Talladega Superspeedway in 1987. Restrictor plates were then made mandatory at superspeedways after several horrible crashes, so now modern cars will max out at about 200mph when they are in the draft. If you took the restrictor plate off of a modern car, you could probably reach 230 mph. (estimate)
