Something was not right from the get go (IE not enoughf oil in the pan, pan that could not controll the oil ect) So when you crossed the finish line the pan was already low on oil or the pan could not controll it. You hit the brakes to slow down and whats in the pan goes forward away from the pickup uncovering it and oil pressure went low and hurt one or more bearings.

Yeah, I'd be pulling some caps and checking bearings and crank. I had a Z28 that did that very same thing about 3 months after a rebuild with a new crank. I pulled the motor out and apparently the crank had not been tuftrided. It looked like it had 200,000 miles on it. GM warrantied the crank and I was back in business.
