In October, 2000, Gil de Ferran had a CART qualifying lap of 241.426 mph at the Fontana, California Speedway (Now Auto Club Speedway). If I am correct, this still stands as the fastest lap on any kind of closed course.

The Oldsmobile Aerotechs were a series of experimental high-speed vehicles created between 1987 and 1992 incorporating the latest in performance technology with the intention of breaking multiple automobile speed records. The first such car was driven by four-time Indy 500 winner A.J. Foyt to a world closed-course speed record of 257.123 mph (413.788 km/h) on 27 August 1987 at the 7.712-mile (12.411 km) test track near Fort Stockton Texas
