Wonder if Kurt was using the same vocabulary with his Indy engineers when he got loose that we've heard on his in-car NASCAR radio?

Say what?! Munoz had language barriers with Busch
DETROIT (AP) -- Carlos Munoz enjoyed having Kurt Busch as a temporary Andretti Autosport teammate.
The cool Colombian, though, could not comprehend everything that came out of the emotional American's mouth while they prepared to race at the Indianapolis 500.
"He has some weird vocabulary," said Munoz with a smile at a Detroit Grand Prix news conference, where the room filled with laughter. "I still don't understand what he said to the engineers when the car was loose, but he's a great guy. He had some really clever comments about the car."
Busch became the fourth driver to race in the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, and the first to attempt a double in a decade. He had a strong showing in his first career IndyCar race, finishing sixth, two spots behind Munoz. Busch had an engine failure at Charlotte Motor Speedway, preventing him from finishing NASCAR's race and completing 1,100 miles of competition.
"It was great to have him aboard," said Munoz, an IndyCar series rookie.
