Chinese term or phrase: 飞驰闪光

《世界是平的》一书中有这样一段话：“每个人借助于宽带网和软件技术，都可能成为信息的创造者和发布者，而那些有价值的创意和设计，会在互联网上飞驰闪光，一路寻逢助燃者及至最终买家
I tried to locate this passage in Google and Yahoo but could not find it. Unfortunately, my time is tight and I do not have enough time to borrow the book from the library either. I would appreciate if someone can help me find the original passage or give me suggestions on how to translate these four words. Thanks.

Greased Lightning

Explanation:
The jump seat directly across from the President-the hot seat-was already taken by Mike Calinoff; retired professional car driver, four-time Winston Cup winner, and special guest for today’s event. No surprise. With only four months until the election, we barely three points ahead in the polls. When the crowd was that fickle, only a fool entered the gladiator’s ring with-out a hidden weapon.
“so she’s fast, even with the bullet proofing?” the racing champ asked, admiring the midnight-blue interior of Cadillac One.
“Greased Lighting,” Manning answered as the First Lady rolled her eyes.
