Japanese term or phrase: レース割れ

So...I'm working on this translation for automobile propeller shaft performance testing and keep coming across this term "レース割れ".

I can't find it anywhere in my database and, while I've assumed it can be translated as "race cracking", that frankly doesn't make any sense to me.

Anyone ever hear of this term?

Appreciate any feedback.

race cracking

Explanation:
Your intuition appears correct. There is a term called a "race" . See the wikipedia link below.

(it's a hard term to search due to the ambiguities: ethnic race, competition race, etc.!)
