But problems on the track and trouble on pit road can get them riled up.



 

Here’s some of the in-car scanner chatter from the Camping World RV 500 at Talladega, as well as some postrace twitter conversations.


Scanner Chatter

Kyle Busch after having a car on his inside, forcing him to miss his pit: “I don’t know why I ever (expletive) do what I want to (expletive) do. (Expletive). (Expletive) knew that (expletive) was going to happen.”

 Danica Patrick  after she hit pit road too fast after being surprised that her team wanted her to pit: “I need more (expletive) help than that.” 	Spotter  Brandon Benesch  : “I was asking. … I am (expletive) telling you the whole time — the guys down there wouldn’t do it. There was nothing I could do.” 	Patrick: “It’s really hard to do that when you come out of the corner and slam on the brakes. I’m sorry I missed pit road but I about (expletive) crashed with two cars on the way in.” 	Crew chief  Tony Gibson  : “We’ve got to do a pass-through penalty here.” 	Patrick: “Yeah because I was (expletive) so fast coming in. … We need a (expletive) load more organization when it comes to pitting on speedways.” 	Gibson: “I was doing the best I could do with your spotter. I was letting him know what we needed to do. He was doing his best to get you down.”

Dale Earnhardt spotter  T.J. Majors  with one lap left: “Single file, still no takers left. … 14 is blocking the 17. He blocked him, he blocked him. They’re wrecking in your mirror, they’re wrecking in your mirror. Just the 14 spun. No pressure, no pressure. … Caution’s out. We’ll be second.”Dale Earnhardt Jr.  : “I was backing up there in 1 and 2. I was going to try to get my run in the back so I could do my juking and jiving on a flat surface.” 	Crew chief  Steve Letarte  : “I’m with you. If the 14 would have got a straight shot, I think we would have been turbo bound.” 	Earnhardt: “I think I could have made a pass. I hate he got turned around there.” 	Letarte: “No, no, no. We did it right.”

Jamie McMurray after the win: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.” Spotter Lorin Ranier to his driver, who had an Auburn paint scheme: “Yeah, yeah. War Eagle!” Crew chief Kevin “Bono” Manion : “Great job, man. Great job, Lorin. 1 team  — total team effort. Love you guys.” McMurray: “Really good job today, guys. That’s awesome.”

Danica Patrick after race: “I’m sorry. I know it’s disappointing. I’m extremely disappointed. These are the races that I look for good results. Tony gave me a fast car. We’ve got to think about what we want to do when it comes to pitting and I’ve got to think about what I’ve got to do to make sure that I do what needs to be done.” Gibson: “We’ll talk about it in the truck.”

Austin Dillon acting crew chief  Greg Zipadelli  after Dillon’s last-lap wreck: “Hell of a job. … You can’t help stupid.”Austin Dillon  : “It was fun. I brought you the wheel back. That’s about it.” 	Spotter  Bob Jeffrey  : “Good job, young man. You’ve got a big, big future here.”

Matt Kenseth after losing several spots in final 10 laps: “Freaking disaster. Sorry.” Crew chief Jason Ratcliff : “That’s all right, man. It’s not your fault. We’re at the mercy of everybody else here. Everybody did all they could do.” Kenseth: “I should have rode right behind the 16 and finished 10th. But they all said they were going to go. And if we got seven or eight cars, we would have gone straight to the front. I don’t really understand the mentality. I guess I should have done the same thing and not raced, I guess.” Ratcliff: “That’s not what got us here, man. We got here by racing. That’s what we’ve got to stick, too.”
