I would take a very conservative guess and say Bobby had well over 500 passes on it before Doug took over.

I am pretty sure i put about 50-75 runs after i bought the car from Bobby,,before i went thru the motor,...,and about another 300 plus passes after the motor was redone in 2006 until now ...

Stock 440 steel crank.

I had the motor re-done in 12/2006,,ie clean block, magnaflux,



Sorry to see the destruction. Close to 900 race passes on a factory crank is a lot. Interesting that it magnaflux checked with no hairline cracks at the 2006 rebuild (~575 runs).

Still it seems rod related (bolt, bearing, etc).
