help..smoke...ideas??

hello evom

i went to the track earlier tonight on my second pass 3rd gear i misshifted and over revved but able to managed to put into gear and finished the pass strong... i noticed a huge white smoke from the exhaust so i pulled over at the side and turned the engine off... then i tried to turn it on again and noticed smoke coming from the hood and the car sounded like a boxer subaru!!!! i drove it to the parking area and checked the hood and wow it was a mess! oil everywhere!......... i noticed the oil cap(HKS cap) was loose and found out that the lock was bent inside and it popped out loose!..i fixed it and tried to turn on the car but it started sluggishly about 3-4 cranks and noticed huge white smoke coming out from the exhaust and a NOS like sound coming out of the valve cover....i shut it off immedialtely and have the car towed back home..........

im thinking blown head gasket or much worst..................motor is shut!!

any insights before i start calling the shop tomorrow would be very helpful...

thanks evom!

Check spark plugs, spark plug wires/coils, pull dipstick to see discoloration in oil. If you see a milky brown color then yup blown HG.
