I'm actually not sure what happened.

I staged the car, pushed the button, let off the foot brake, the car sat still, put it on the 2 step and the car stayed like normal for a short period, and then the brake released. I've reviewed this on All Access to back up my story. I was still pushing the button, I didn't flinch or do anything strange. I do not wear gloves so I know I was on it, but possibly not hard enough?

Transbrake of course works in the pits and I can't replicate what happened. I've changed the solenoid and button and will double check the wiring at the divisional. Fortunately we get quite a few time runs so if there is still a problem hopefully it can be addressed.

Frustrating way to lose, but that's racing. Couldn't be more happy for the eventual winner.
