Matt Kenseth wins the Diamond Hill Plywood 200 Nationwide Series race at Darlington Raceway Friday night, making it his 25th victory in 235 starts in the series.

Kenseth, with his third victory at the “track too tough to tame,” took the checkered flag while under caution that was due to Morgan Shepherd spinning out and hitting the inside wall with only two laps to go.

Following Kenseth to the yellow/checkered flags were: Jason Leffler in second, Carl Edwards in third and Raybestos Rookie contenders Erik Darnell and Justin Allgaier finished fourth and fifth respectfully.

Rounding out the top-10 were: Ryan Newman 6th, Mike Bliss 7th, Jeff Burton 8th, Scott Wimmer 9th and Brian Vickers in 10th.

Kyle Busch, who led the most laps (143) but had to pit due to running over debris prior to the final two-lap shootout, came in 16th, and continues to lead Carl Edwards in the points standings with a close margin of 37 points.
