Top speed during Indy 500 Pole day was 230mph (5/9/09). Indy is the fastest track they currently race. The 4 lap average that won the pole was just shy of 225mph.

The record speed for an Indy (type) car was an average speed of 241mph set by a Honda powered Reynard in what was the CART series at California Speedway in late 2000.
