Pretty high on the list of things you don't want to see. That is, something you've picked up on the road. It did not lose air...

Like I said when you posted it on FB, it looks like a teleporter malfunction.

Eric, at the track, thought it was in the tire mold.

I would think that otherwise those tires would need to be pretty freaking hot (or the metal piece was) to end up molded in like that - I think he is right...

I'd go with that, yeah.
Might send a picture of that to the tire store or manufacturer.

I've seen that happen before. I remember when my bro picked up a size 14 or bigger self tapping screw with a 1/2" washer. You could hear it inside the vehicle it was so loud smacking the road. Pulled over and that little shit was hotter than hell. We just left it in since it wasn't leaking any air.
