Matt Kenseth won under the lights Friday night @ Darlington!The race had the look of another dominating win by Kyle Busch. He led 143 of 153 laps and all it took was a flat tire caused by debris on the track from a late race wreck to take Kyle from 1st to a 16th place finish. The crowd was cheering as Busch made it down pit road so his team could change the flat.

As soon as Busch jumped out of his car, he took off and left the race track without speaking to anyone.
Just before the start of the Nationwide race, Kenseth won the pole for the Sprint Cup Series race and set a new track record for his qualifying lap.
"Today couldn't have gone any better than it did, that's for sure," said Kenseth. "Like I said earlier, it's all really about the cars and the people that work on them and your pit stops and all that. I can't go fast with slow cars, which I proved over the last couple months. It feels good to be able to win one of these things… On the Cup side, it feels good to make changes today, and the car actually reacted to it and seemed to drive a lot better than our stuff has lately, so it's been a good day for us. Hopefully, that will continue (Saturday)."
There were 10 cautions for 32 laps and 4 lead changes among 4 drivers:
K. Busch 1-39; C. Edwards 40-44; T. Raines 45; K. Busch 46-149; M. Kenseth 150-153
