What's this brown wedge on my tomato?

I was taking pictures of my garden today and I found this one tomato with a brown (spot) or wedge in the side. Is this from too much rain, as in it's cracking? What is this? I've sprayed all my tomatoes with Nitrocal - Nitrogen/Calcium Foliar Spray; added Epsom Salts to the soil; fish oil to the soil; and initially treated with Sea Kelp (Foliar) to kill spider mites that actually turned out to be windburn from all the strong winds we've been having. I've just noticed the first, red nympths that will eventually mature into stink bugs this week. They ran away before I could catch them in my hand.

I've added a picture to show the brown wedge in the tomato. Thanks!SplitTom.jpg

Thanks! I'm glad it's not a catapillar chomping away or blossom end rot. I've been trying to do foliar and soil fertilizing on a scheduled basis this year to prevent that.
