Default Sparks!

Ok so the other day I did a quick little burnout in the parking lot with my 1990, and one of my friends said she saw sparks coming out of my passenger side wheel. I looked at the tire and did'nt find any rocks or nails and it was full of air so it wasn't my wheel scraping the ground. Any clue as to what this could be?

it coulda been a stone, that was thrown away.

if you are getting sparks from the drive train portion of the rear in that manner, you would be sure to know about it by now.
