This is what I'd always thougth was the rule.

“storm-wracked…rack one’s brain” have been used interchangeably so frequently that either spelling is fine to use. However, some usage commentators suggest using rack in the phrases “rack one’s brain” and “nerve-racking” and save wrack for boat- and storm-related imagery, such as “storm-wracked” and “wrack and ruin”.
