I have never done a crazy burnout like that but I always just wipe it all off after a run at the track...it comes off easy when its fresh...you can use just about any cleaner to wipe it when its like that....I use a paint scraper for inside the wheel wells when I get home.

I've used Tire Wet prior to a trip to the track ... Spray the whole inside of the wheel well, and the rear quarter panels. Washes right off.
To get it off, you're gonna need A LOT of elbow grease to get it off the untreated paint. Get out lots of rags, polish, etc. The plastic inside the wheel wells, you can rub it off with a plastic scraper or your fingers (on the indented areas)... Not fun.

SICK smoke show indeed!!! 
You're gonne need a pressure washer, some Simple Green (at full strength) and a clay bar (I recommend the Mother's clay).
Spay the rubber blasted areas with a liberal amount of Simple Green and let it soak for about a minute. Hit the areas with the pressure washer....that should get all the big chunks off. After your done with that wash the whole truck with a good car wash shampoo and dry. Next clay bar the affected areas...this should pull the remaining rubber off.
Time is of the essence for you...the longer you let the rubber stay on the paint the better chance you will have that it will stain and/or eat through your clearcoat.
