I really have no idea. When I had the car at the bodyshop for cage painting, the owner saw the paint was cracking around the wing base and wasn't happy about it, but we think it was just paint at that point.
I was doing 155 on the high banks of Daytona, which added a lot more G force, so it probably added to it. When I took the old wing off, the cracks were about an inch and a half long at the back end of the mounting bases.
I had that wing at its lowest possible angle too!
