The problem is reported to be the transmission... As the Gumout Polesitter, Tucker was lucky enough to avoid a major incident on the front straightaway at the start. Behind him, second-starting John Heinricy, of Holly, Mich., experienced transmission trouble just as the green flag waved, forcing the cars around him to take evasive maneuvers on cold tires. This caused the No. 98 Adventure Shooting Sports/HAVOC Dodge Viper SRT-10 of Jim Lynch, from Chesterfield, Mo., and the No. 99 Hoosier/Hutter Performance Center Chevrolet Corvette C5 of Tom Sloe, from Newbury, Ohio, to collide and collect numerous other cars in the process. A total of seven cars were involved in the incident, which brought out a red flag. All of the drivers involved in the incident were later cleared from the track medical center. http://www.motorsport.com/news/article.asp?ID=388599
