Rocket racing velocity N 246RR made an off field landing in Chipley, Florida?

And by engine problems, do they mean out of fuel? From Dallas to the site, approx. 4.5 hours, based on 145kts. Sounds like fuel problems. Have to stop somewhere before the Kissimmee, why push any plane that far, and at 6:30 PM?

I don't think there's a market for the RRL, but at least they're pumping more money through Velocity...
