Scary moment for Steve Wallace

Steve Wallace had a scary moment Friday during the final Nationwide Series practice at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, when a part in the transmission failed, exploding the casing and causing the driveshaft to snap in two.

A piece of the driveshaft kept spinning coming through the bottom of the car and hitting Wallace’s seat. Wallace was unhurt but said he would have a “big bruise" on his right leg.

“It just started spinning and ripped the whole rear end out," Wallace said. “It bent the seat real bad and tore the whole interior out. Scary."
