I may not have the tactical prowess of SMEDLEY... but my first guess was that they sought the cover of the sandstorm to try to mount a surprise attack on the western flank of the advancing coalition infantry.
They obviously were not anticipating that coalition satellites would be able to see the engine heat through the sandstorm. Not the sharpest knives in the drawer?

Another possibility: JSTARS radar planes simply looked for a long line of vehicles.
This is right up there with the M1A2 Abrams beercanning a Toyota pickup truck.
