Bill Elliott holds the record and he set that in the days before restrictor plates and his qualifying lap speed was just over 221 MPH. He was driving a Ford Thunderbird.
A couple of years ago they had Rusty Wallace come to Talladega and run a test with the pre spec car without the restrictor plate and the small blocks they now run. His top speed was 230 and his lap average was around 212 if I remember correctly.
