This has to be one of the dumbest publcity stunts i've ever heard of . Ole Bill is trying to break his own qualifying record at Talladega , except he isn't attempting to qualify for a race . Hes using a Mustang , a car that wouldn't have been legal when he set the record and wouldn't be legal now . And his record is only a record for NASCAR , there have been far faster laps turned there by Mark Donahue , A J Foyt , Lynn St James and others .
The whole thing doesn't make very much sense .

Bill Elliott wrecks at Talladega trying to break 212 mph qualifying record

Legendary NASCAR team owner Bud Moore, right, checks out the damage to the right front wheel of the Mustang.
The last thing Bill Elliott expected to be riding in on Wednesday at Talladega Superspeedway was an ambulance.

Elliott was at the track -- where he set the NASCAR qualifying record in 1987 of 212 mph -- in an attempt to break that mark. He was driving a Ford FR500C Mustang, a production racing model modified by Brent Hajek of Hajek Motorsports. The same car reached 252 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats last year.
