Use photoshop to blur the background and wheels

To do it in camera you've got to have years of experience, like 3-4 years or something. All kidding aside, you can take the photo in Shutter priority and Manual mode. In shutter priority, set the shutter to anywhere between 1/30th-1/70th of a second depending on how fast the car is moving. The faster the car is moving, the faster the shutter speed (but to blur it you should be under 1/80th or between the range I mentioned). Then just practice following the car and shooting at the same time. If you have continuous focus, turn it on and keep it focused on the car. I prefer to shoot in manual because you can then change both the shutter and aperture and not have to worry what the output would look like, shutter priority will guess the aperture for you.
If you only have a P&S camera w/ manual settings available, dial in the settings, pre focus at the point where you want to hit the shutter, then follow the car and hit the shutter where you pre focused.
