Kyle Petty shares why he's "never been a fan" of burnouts to celebrate a win and views it as potential "destruction" of a perfectly good race car and unoriginal, while Steve Letarte's happy to leave it up to the drivers.

Hill has won this season at Daytona and Atlanta, both drafting tracks, and will look to continue that streak Saturday. The green flag is scheduled to wave at 4:20 p.m. ET Saturday.
