My rear non-sport rotors cracked in the same way at the track once. I don't know their original source. I don't use the emergency brake in the paddock but the hot pads could cause dissimilar cooling just being in proximity when really hot. I'm guessing that is what happened.

I cracked a non-drilled/slotted rotor once, but I was being a bonehead and running the rotors with substantial micro-cracking all the way around. Had I followed my own advice and pulled them when the cracks were 1/3 of the way across the rotor, it never would have happened.
