UPDATE: Talked to the team...let them know that 2nd place and Rod Hall is only 37 miles away (the Hummer is broken down on his second lap at MM 37)...They have taken the rear end apart...Turns out it was not the R&P that broke...it was the spider gears (someone more educated can let me know what "spider gears" are) and they are attempting to weld the rearend up enough to limp those 37-40 miles they need to get 2nd place...will keep you up to date...
