Failures happen, GM said they would warranty these cars when tracked if stock, so give the man his new engine and be done with it.

While true, this is the 1st failure of a LT1 in a 1LE while at a track event. That is going to lead to some tear downs and diagnosis to see if it is something related to the 1LE package that could of have caused the failure, was it a LT1 issue or a Camaro issue or just a random failure.
Now the only thing I agree with was the moment it was noted the engine was done with a destroyed piston and a engine was needed then GM should ship one. But we also don't know what the inventory levels are for those engines. GM cant and wont just pull one from the assembly line in order to ship it out for the OP, it just doesn't work like that. Each engine is serial numbered and that serial number is married in the system and sequenced to the VIN it will be assembled with at some point during the assembly process.
I have seen both side of the assembly process from working in a GM automobile plant for a couple of years and also working for a supplier that sequenced parts at a location 2 miles from the plant and shipped them over.
