I'm not sure of the name, but that sure sounds like the guy. I heard that
he broke another rear hub at another autocross shortly after Nationals.
This (and a few other similar incidents) is what spurred the recall of

I know that the driver in question is not on any of the Saturn or Street
Touring lists that I am on, so if you know him, do make sure he is
informed.
