"The day before, the big, bad, blue EVO misfired its way through the 1320 in 12.8 seconds at 104.3 mph with a failing fuel pump. This failure led to a rod finding its way through the block later in the day. Naturally, this meant an all-night swap to an EVO IV engine for road course testing the following day."

Because of a failing fuel pump which lead to bigger problems down the road.
