Maybe it’s mist. If the show is filmed in Northern Georgia it isn’t too far from the Great Smokey Mountains. It’s not smoke there either.

Fog… We can have it bad here in (middle) TN as well, It’s nothing to be driving along early morning and hit a patch of fog out of nowhere and have to slow way down cause you can’t see…
Maybe another “America’s Truck Night” victim? … lol … That show is really hard on the trucks, but at least pays $10,000 to the winner; still, it is hard to imagine how even the winner could fix the damage to their truck for that.
Never seen that but at the demo derbies, the welding and cutting sparks would be flying out in the field between heats, trying to get the beat up cars running again. Also interesting that from year to year the same old beat up cars seem to reappear. Kinda takes the fun out of watching. Not fun is seeing a pristine 61 ford wagon ready to be beat to heck. Have they no honor?
Very true, they should bag it and slam it on the ground, or Tub it, cage it and drag race it… 
Remember those flexible curb scrapers that use to be popular until the late 60s, they fastened onto the side (fender or bumper) of the car to make noise when you parallel parked and got too close to the curb. It kept you from scuffing your tires on the curb.
Back in the late 60s, a friend got a couple of them and welded a bunch of screws onto the end and then then screwed the replacement flints for torch strikers onto the screws. He then fastened the curb scrappers onto the sides of his motorcycle. When he went around a corner, not real fast, but fast enough to have to lean, the scrapers dragged on the road surface and the flints sent up a shower of sparks. It was a sight to behold…
Speaking of flints, for a cheap thrill, heat one up with a torch on a hard surface (rock, vice, anvil, etc…) and when it is glowing, smack it with a hammer… It sends out a blast of sparks in all directions and makes quite a bang… You can also use the little flints for cigarette lights too,
