5th gear wouldn't work

it was saturday after my race at button willow, i'm driving on 5-south past bakersfield
going home in LA


well the first 20, everything was ok on my way home, even 5th gear worked

but after a stop at wendy's, i get back on the freeway, and shift into 5th

speed drops to 60, and rev drops to 3k, i shift back into 4th and get the car up to speed and shift back into 5th

i spon out twice into the dirty, nothing was broken so i kept on racing on the track, i got dirty everywhere over my car so i'm thinking some dust got into the ecu

plus i didn't even use 5th, only 2nd and 3rd, and 4th once in a while

so i pull over, pop up the hood for a few minute, look around, everything seemed ok

all fluid up to level, and one fluid on the ground under the car

so i get back on the freeway and everything worked and 5th still worked this morning

what the **** happened?

i'm going to take it into the dealer tomorrow and see whats up
