Kyle Busch finally broke through to win a Nationwide Series race at Darlington Raceway after near misses the past two years.
Busch beat Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin to the finish line by 3.677 seconds. Elliott Sadler was third, followed by Nationwide points leader Justin Allgaier and Steve Wallace.
Justin Allgaier leads Elliott Sadler by 5 points in the standings.
The race was a quick one, lasting less than two hours and involving only five cautions.
The worst of the stoppages came on lap 95 with a multi-car accident that sent Brian Scott hard into the infield wall.
The wreck also collected up Sprint Cup regulars Edwards, Kahne, Clint Bowyer and Brad Keselowski. All but Bowyer began in the top 10 after qualifying was rained out earlier Friday. Bowyer was scheduled to start second but was sent to the back of the field after missing roll call at the pre-race drivers’ meeting.
