NASCAR ended the Dash Series in January, 2003 and the 1990 track record by Collier remains the fastest qualifying lap officially recorded for a NASCAR sanctioned event at any track for this Series. Unofficially, the Ford Probe driven by Collier was clocked at a private test session conducted by Ford Motor Company at Talladega International Speedway in January, 1992 at an average lap speed of 174.225 mph.
The record setting car was on display in the International Motorsports Museum in Talladega, Alabama for one year in 1991. It was removed from the museum collection by its owner, Buddy Shavender of Pantego, NC, put in race trim and with Collier at the wheel, again sat on pole at Daytona in 1992 for the Florida 200. After two Daytona poles, a NASCAR Dash Series record and a World record, the Ford Probe driven by Collier was retired from competition. The car is now housed in a private museum in Pantego, North Carolina.
Jeffrey Clayton Collier was killed in a car accident in Murfreesboro, NC on June 28, 2021.[3]
