The extreme downforce on the wing at high speed at the highest setting caused a structural failure of the wing support. The wing was simply being pushed beyond it's design capabilities. The end result was a sudden loss of downforce as the wing detached and a heavy crash. Fortunately the car was caged and the driver was uninjured. He even has it on video
When you add more HP to a stock car this is something to be considered.
