just wash the numbers off the windows so they don't know it was at the track and take it to the dealer and tell them it happened at some red light when you went to pull out....thats what i did and they covered it with no questions asked

Abuse is not covered, You think the dealership is going to cover it under warranty?

Good Luck on that

I had a nightmare of a time getting my axles replaced(clicking) under warranty and I didnt even abuse my car.
Never been to track with it.
Hope dealership doesnt see this thread,You pointed out you broke axle at track.
