Luck would not be on Chase's side at Newton as he would get taken out of the race not by another car, but by the push truck!  On the initial push off, Chase's seat was hitting the torque tube caused by the
heavy fuel load.  Chase would pull in to get it fixed by raising the car up.  Before the crew would get all the adjustments completed, the push truck attempted to push Chase off. Nobody was expecting it, and with Chase not aware and not ready to be pushed off, the torque tube would tear apart from the rear end, therefore taking Chase out of the race, before it even started.
