Yeah, I think it was from his Wheel Hop.
I've pulled prolly 100 1.7 60ft's on slicks on my axles over a 2 year period. Most of the time being at the 350-400whp range. Still stock Axles w/ no problems yet
I have a new set as spairs just incase tho. I havent ever had wheel hop issues tho. Richmond's track may have cause this issue because I know of 3 other guys who have experinced a broken axle due to wheel hope at richmond.

Thats what does it... The track didnt do it... You hit it right on the head...
Shame some others dont know the real deal... Always like to blame it on the track!
