NASCAR fastest 10 qualifiers in history

The 1987 Winston 500 at Talladega Superspeedway changed NASCAR forever as the first 8 drivers all qualified at an average speed of over 210 mph. For comparison, this qualifying speed was rivaling contemporary Indy Car racing; the 1987 Indianapolis 500 saw a top qualifying speed of 215.390 mph logged by Mario Andretti a few days later. Concerns were already being raised about these speeds. Chevrolet team drivers were reporting that the rear tires of the Monte Carlo were lifting off the track entering turn 3. Can you name the starting ten fastest drivers?
