There were no extras, or extras was the highest scorer?

As I'm shortly going out for the rest of the day. I'll reveal the answer and declare an Open Floor.
South Africa’s first innings total of 314 against England at Edgbaston in 2008 included a total of 35 leg byes – a record for a Test Match.

Sticking with the motorsport theme:
Who is the only driver to hold both the Formula 1 and the IndyCar titles at the same time?
