As the article notes, of the four failures, 3 of them were on stock Demon cars and 1 modified car. Of course their concern is with the 3 stock ones that did detonate.
"Crucially, the event was produced by a drag strip surface prep company called Mass Traction, which also supervised track maintenance for Fiat-Chrysler during the Demon's development and knows how to maximize grip for the car."
This seems concerning to me, as Dodge would have been aware of the potential to detonate the rearend during testing with the track maintenance people. You have to wonder if this issue came up during testing, because 3 stock Demons failed.
