Do you live under a rock??? Yea exactly that - a gator strike. That's the highway driving slang reference for a blown tire tread scrap.
And yes again - they do exactly that kind of scratching and cracking to plastic bumpers due to the cord wires that run through the tread and stick out of the scrap and because the rubber tread sticking up will catch teh underside of the bumber of low setting cars.
I know this kind of car damage for an ABSOLUTE fact because it scratched, cracked and sliced up my front bumper on my Shelby Mustang GT right where the bumper curves under to the chin skirt. It looks 100% exactly like what the picture shows in the original poster's message.
