Unhappy Big Problems

I would appreciate as many opinions on these questions as possible.
This past Tuesday,I had my 8 month old Brock Coupe at Virginia International Raceway for a Tune and Test Day hosted by the Bertil Roos Racing School.The Coupe has approx. 9500 miles and I have had it at 5 previous track days in 2004.The car was new when I purchased it in August '04 and has a Roush 402R engine.
During the warm up lap on Tuesday at VIR,the engine blew a rod through the oil pan. I had checked the oil level before starting off and made sure the car was warmed up.
2 questions.As the engine has a valid warranty from Roush,do I have a valid claim on this warranty? Secondly,although I am not sure as to the extent the engine was damaged,would I be better off in the long run having a new engine installed instead of rebuilding the existing one?
Thanks.
