Here is a look at some of the conversation on team radios and on Twitter:

Kyle Busch crew chief  Dave Rogers  to his driver before the: "You know the gig. One day at a time. One race at a time. One lap at a time. You have 267. Be patient."

Busch on first-lap spin behind Danica Patrick: "It just jumped sideways to the apron."

Crew member to Kevin Harvick after a debris caution that came just after his green-flag pit stop: “I’ve never seen them look so damn hard for it.”

Harvick: "Debris?"

Crew: "Yeah, I know. They never looked so hard for it in my life. That's bull (expletive)."

Kevin Harvick : “It’s all fair play, right? All fair play. (Expletive) our whole day up, though, with a debris caution. The debris was sitting there before we pitted just so you know.”

Crew chief  Chad Knaus  to Jimmie Johnson, who had to drive down pit road after the caution came out because he was already on pit road when the yellow flag waved: "That was good heads-up, Jimmie. You did exactly what you were supposed to do. There was nothing you could do. You were committed. Passing through was the only thing we could do. If we had stopped in our box, we would have been (expletive). What was the (expletive) caution for?"

Spotter Earl Barban: "Rubber."

Knaus: "(Expletive) rubber, really? In the middle of a pit cycle?"

Matt Kenseth : “This is the most evilest thing I’ve ever drove. I don’t think evilest is even a word. Man.”

Crew chief  Jason Ratcliff  : "10-4, man, 10-4."

Kenseth: "I just can't do it, man. ... I can't drive it. It is so loose going into Turn 1, I don't know what's going to happen."

Kyle Busch on struggles: “It cannot get in the corner aero-wise, cannot turn the center aero-wise. I just suck. I can’t do anything on the restarts. When I’m on the outside lane, I cannot even put the gas down. I’m pushing so bad, chattering the rear tires so bad it ain’t even funny. I just have nothing. I have absolutely no grip. I can’t do (expletive).”

Busch after contact with Juan Pablo Montoya: "Well that's the fifth time in the five years, I'd say last three years. He won't be missed."

Clint Bowyer on Aric Almirola on the final lap: “That (expletive) bull (expletive). That 43, if I wouldn’t have lifted, we would have wrecked.”
