A Delta Airlines Boeing 717-200, registration N928AT performing flight DL-1708 from Huntsville,AL to Atlanta,GA (USA), was accelerating for takeoff from HUntsville's runway 18R when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed and advised ATC they needed emergency services due to smoke. The aircraft vacated the runway at the first exit about 380 meters down the runway and stopped clear of the runway. The crew inquired whether emergency services were seeing anything from the left hand engine (BR715), emergency services they were not seeing anything unusual from either engine. About 10 minutes later the aircraft taxied to the apron with emergency services in trail, the crew suggested the airport might sweep the runway as a precaution.
