The 'Lucky Dog' in Nascar is when the first car a lap down gets its lap back. When a caution comes out, the first car off the lead lap will get a wave around, they will then be able to start at the tail end of the lead pack.

The fastest qualifying lap (in MPH) in NASCAR History took place at Talladega Superspeedway in 1987. Bill Elliott turned in a lap of 212.809 MPH to become the fastest man in NASCAR with a record that will never be broken in NASCAR.
Cars go a lap down when they get passed by the leader, when the caution comes out, the last car who went a lap down gets a free pass and he can go all the way around to the tail-end of the lead lap cars, thus, putting him/her on the same lap as the leader(s).

Not sure, but I don't think you have to worry about going a lap down in a road race, because the lap times are so much longer. You would want to use the caution laps to catch back up to the lead pack.
