Elliott's record attempt ends on a hook

Bill Elliott was attempting to set a new closed course record in a specialty-prepared Mustang, but it ended up on the hook after he crashed, according to al.com.

Our View: Rain limited Elliott's time on track, which may have caused him to push a little too hard. This car went 252 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats; the closed course record at Talladega is 212 and that was set by Elliott in 1987.
