That's probably one of the least interesting records. Besides the tires, what's the problem reaching that speed? Need a big engine and some downforce. This is much easier than building a car that cam set a record on the track.

I guess it's interesting that you can do it in a street legal production car.

Why ? You "just" need a car that can steer and brake, what's the problem with steering and braking ? Need a steering wheel, good brake pads and tires
Tracks are much more different than straight line speed.
TBH the complexities are not even comparable, track engineering for a car is probably a few orders of magnitude more complex than straight line speed.
On the track you need a good setup which has a lot of factors and can be very hard to achieve. Way more complex than going straight as fast as possible
