Still love that Satellite!
Are we sure it's tire smoke? The blue-ish tint could hint at a future engine problem. And the cars are not leaving any visible tire marks on the track.
Off topic...I've often heard drivers complain of spinning tires on restarts. I never saw it as clearly demonstrated as it was at Texas last weekend. Kyle was leaving 100 foot streaks on the track at every restart.

Paul, that is tire smoke. If wee were seeing this shot from behind the groove probable would be more visible.
The old Atlanta layout had 1/4 straights and the turns were each a half mile in length.
Say what they will but the old track was a drivers track. You really had to have it together to win there. This joint was not about close finishes, it was about having a great set up and a great driver.
