Dale Jr. narrowly avoided catastrophe when he squeezed through a multi-car accident on lap 35, receiving only minor damage from contact with Matt Kenseth's car:
Dale Jr.: "We were very, very, very lucky right there."
Steve Hmiel: (crew chief) "Yeah, they just showed the in-car (camera view)... Well, that's OK because we haven't been very lucky this year."
With its pit stall directly beside to the #29 Goodwrench pit stall, Dale Jr. nearly collided with Kevin Harvick's #29 when pulling out of the box, somewhat diluting a fast pit stop by the Brew Crew:

Dale Jr.: "Man, ya'll had a fast stop. Sorry I didn't pit shorter so I could get us out... I should've done a better job."
Hmiel: "That's cool, that's cool. You didn't knock the nose off getting in a big hurry. You're fast on the race track. That's fine."
Dale Jr.: "Yeah, tell the 29 they need to pick it up on the left side."
Hmiel (laughing): OK, I don't think Donald Rumsfeld (sitting on the Goodwrench team's pit box) is helping them a whole lot."
Dale Jr.: "Awesome pit stop. I don't think there was a car on pit road within two seconds of that."

After a pit-stop that wasn't one of the better ones of the night:

Dale Jr.: "Alright, uhhhhh, that was not such a good stop. But still, when you're (crappy), you're still better than most. Haha. Gotta feel good about that, huh?"
Hmiel: "That's what we say about you when you're (crappy). You're still better than most!"
Dale Jr. (laughing): "That's pretty funny."

The eighth and final caution came out on lap 146 when a multi-car wreck behind Dale Jr. took out many good cars:
Dale Jr.: "That took a lot of people out."
Hmiel: "Yep, behind us... thank the Lord!"
Dale Jr." "Hope everyone is OK."
Hmiel: "They appear to be, June."

Later in that caution period:
Hmiel (to spotter Jimmy Kitchens, as they formulated a strategy of drafting with the #07 of Dave Blaney): "Hey Jimmy, tell the 07 that if we're not real sure we can get the good run, we're going to stay down low. I know you know this already, Jimmy, but I guess we're so tickled to be running good we're talking too much."
Kitchens: "Definitely not talking too much. Alright guys, let's make this happen."
