Check with @legopnuematic or @Frankenchevy about the welding. When they're done, it'll look new.

Put it back in, put the pinion nut back on and crank it down real good, put some duct tape over the inspection hole, fill’er up and hammer down. You now have a full race lightweight diff.

WTF! SERIOUSLY!
Dude, just go buy another axle. Your gears, bearings, and carrier are toast.

Ha! Seriously -
I broke the pinion gear at Columbus one time. Drove to Jegs, got a new 4.10 gearset and put it in at the track - in the rain.
Legendary racer Camp Stanley came flying by, grabbed the pinion gear out of my hand and rolled it through a puddle.

"There ya go" he said, handing it back to me. "It'll help it break in better."
What a nut...

Was this when you were flat towing or on the open?

Thinking JB Weld may be overkill, just blend out the damage to stress relieve that carrier. What could possibly go wrong?

No - that was with the enclosed trailer. Home sweet home away from home.
Funny thing is the year before I broke the trans. When I noticed (because of the stains on the pavement) that I was parked in the same pit spot my buddy said "...I think I'd find someplace else to park".
