FastCar Newsdesk for 25th Sprint All-Star Race
Before the All-Star race festivities this weekend, veteran driver Bill Elliott set his sights on Talladega Superspeedway to break his own speed record at the track. Elliott came to the legendary Alabama track with Hajek Motorsports and a Ford Mustang FR500C powered with E85. That same car had clocked a 252 mph speed at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Then, the unexpected happened, hurtling his car into turn one at the Atlanta Motor Speedway during the Kobalt Tools 500 race, his car took a slide into the outside retaining wall that left his car crippled from the damage sustained when he backed his car hard into it at top speed.

Busch nearly broke his own record at the track; just missing the mark he set at the track last August when Busch and his Joe Gibbs Racing team led 144 laps. Incredibly Busch has all but thirteen laps of the last two series event held at the speedway.
