My victory lane burnout
Sporting News, The, June 10, 2005 by Jeff Gordon
It's all about knowing how to hold the brake and the gas together because you have to hold the car still to keep enough front brake into it and get the rear wheels spinning and temperature in the tires to get the smoke rolling. Then it's all about modulating the brake--whether you let it spin around or just walk down the banking.

If you use too much brake, you're not going to get the wheels really spinning up and the car will just rotate around the front. It really all depends on what you're wanting to do and how banked the track is. But you have to be quick with the shift to keep the wheels spinning really good. I wouldn't say I'm necessarily the best at it, but every now and then I pull off a good one.
