Pre-Race
"Alright, let's have a good night. Fight all the way through, finish strong."
"I like the new look we got going, but damn Akula keeps impressing me despite being the expansion team. Good luck to him today, he definitely has a car that can win."
18 Rainbow Dash
Pre-Race
"Front row, #40 has chosen the outside lane so you'll have the #4 behind you."
"No problem, car feels much better. I got a good feeling about tonight."
9 Pinkie Pie
Pre-Race
"Hm... yep, that's a doozy. "
"Something up?"
"...Yes, but I can't quite point it out. Whatever it is its gonna be a doozy."
40 Akula
Lap 2
"Clear one back, #24 looking low. Three behind, wreck behind ya. Big wreck behind ya, like biggest so far this season big. Quite a few hard hits, #42 and #1 got through."
"Team's intact. What do I have behind me?"
"#4 got through clean, #95 made it through as well. Pretty much 2nd through 9th bit the dust in that one."
95 Danger Dean
Lap 2
"Clear down when you want it.. wrecking in front! Down down, middle. Watch the #9. Clear high, clear good work."
"Woah, what the (Expletive)! How did I even get through that mess!"
"You're a better driver than most give you credit for mate. Keep digging, we got a good car tonight."
24 Viral Velocity
Lap 2
"Still high, got plenty of bottom to work with here. Looking out.. oh you've gotta be kidding. Hold it up there, we got hooked up into the #11."
"Ya alright?"
"Why is it always the (Expletive) Toyota's?"
19 Spitfire
Lap 2
"#9 inside, #48 looking high. Got one still coming low... get down, we're in it. Got the whole left front torn up with the #18"
"And for the third week in a row "Crash" has lived up to her nickname. This time it's an academy record 3 teamates. Wow, first one at Vegas, two at Auto Club, and now she's done it again! (Expletive)!"
22 Applejack
Lap 2
"Done. Crushed like a tin can."
"I'm more concerned for Rarity right now, but I'll get this one back to Y'all before I put it out of it's misery."
2 Rarity
"You Ok down there?"
*sigh* Wounded pride darling. Nothing more, nothing less. The rotten luck follows me like a dark cloud.
"Sorry Rarity."
"Woah... Pinkie.. don't be upset it was a matter of unfortunate circumstances. I'm fine, just let me get this..."
12 Sweetie Belle
Lap 24
"How can a car be this tight on exit and loose on entry at the same time?! This makes no sense!"
48 Twilight Sparkle
Lap 32
"I think that damage (Expletive) with my steering. Can't get it to turn it that well."
"Alright, take care of it and we'll take a look next time in."
42 Sunset Shimmer
Lap 35
"Solid work, made the top ten and got some points. Keep fighting to the front, #40 is still in the lead."
"I would expect nothing less from him."
95 Danger Dean
Lap 36
"Ready, green green. Outside, bottom of three... clear. Good one, dig dig."
"Let's put on a show for the mares in the garage."
40 Akula
Lap 43
"I respect the guts mate, but the #95 is pushing his luck."
"You're faster than him, don't wreck him, but move him if you need to."
"Way outside, clear 2 back."
"No disrespect, but I have history to make tonight and I can't have him in my way."
10 Octavia Melody

88 Starlight Glimmer
Pits (End of Stage 2)
"coming, three... two... one... damnit. Go go."
"For (Expletive) sake! How does it look?"
"Nothing serious, get it turned around when we finish up."
40 Akula
Pits (End of Stage 2)
"And.. Go go go! Agh, keep going. We still have the lead."
"Alright, good work I'm starting to get tired of the amount of times I've run into her. She doesn't even have a competitive car today."
21 Apple Bloom
Lap 103
"Good run so far, keep it up and let us know of you have any problems."
"Other than being really tired I think everything is good."
47 Sky Stinger
Lap 116
"Top 15 right now, even if half the field is wrecked."
"At this rate I'll take all the points I can get. I'm sick of being the caboose of this series."
"Just stay clear, leaders are coming by this lap."
48 Twilight Sparkle
Lap 124
"Clear all around, 3 back. Watch it stay low, clear. Cautions out."
"#88 And #40?"
"Yep. Clear as day."
"They are gonna need more than a wrecker to clean up the mess that's gonna spill. And no, I'm not elaborating on that. I don't want to talk about what he might do to her on national coverage."
40 Akula
Lap 124 (Under Caution)
"DO NOT LET HER OUT OF THIS (Expletive) CIRCUIT OR SO HELP ME..."
"Kurt!"
"DON'T KURT ME, HE HAD THIS DAMN RACE WON! I HATE PHOENIX, THEY LET KENNY WALLACE DRIVE MY CAR HERE ONCE! DANICA LIVES HERE! WORST (Expletive) RACE TRACK EVER!"

"Trixie has no comment."
20 Fluttershy
Lap 152
"Clear two back to the #10, 5 to go next time by. Keep it smooth, you have a top ten car."
"I still want to thank you for getting me through all this, especially that wreck early on."
"Just doing my job, you're doing Gibbs and the team proud despite the circumstances."
37 Vapor Trail
Lap 158 (Finish)
"#4 crossing the line ahead of you, P10. Top ten today, solid work."
"I'd say it was more luck than anything else. Half the field is in the garage."
"Don't get so down on yourself. You did good today, Preece is happy and so am I."
48 Twilight Sparkle
Lap 158 (Finish)
"Checkered flag this time by, good work bringing it home."
"Thank Celestia, I feel like I've been driving a boat the last few hours. Let's hope Starlight doesn't say or do something she'll regret in the hauler tonight. I'm not saving her this time."
Author's Note
I must apologize for taking an age and a half to publish this Radioactive, but I was unsurprisingly distracted by other forms of media. Oops, hope you enjoy this anyway. Next up is Atlanta Motor Speedway.
And for those of you who may have recognized the Kurt Busch line, you know what it's from.
