Default broke something at track need help

went to the track tonight and on the second pass the car broke something. I am pretty sure it isnt the driver output because i can turn one wheel and the other one spins but only spins so far and then stops and wont go any further. I actually had to jack the rear of the car up to get it off of the track. What would cause the wheels not to spin?

Probably an axle. Done it 3 times. Sometimes the car wouldn't move, other times I could barely inch the car forward while in gear.

You can reach up under the car and feel the axles to see if they are broken.

Did you put the car in Neutral and try to spin the wheels while off the ground?
