They wrap the tires with a cover or plastic wrap to keep the tires clean and wet to just before they run....

After finding out this information I went to the Starter and I informed him of the unsafe racing conditions caused by lubricating the starting line
If you think tire prep leaves puddles of oil on the track you're crazy.
