DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) -- Matt Kenseth took control in the second half of the race and pulled away to a convincing victory Friday night in the first NASCAR Busch Series event under the lights at Darlington Raceway.

The 2003 Nextel Cup champion, a part-time driver in Busch Series, earned his 18th career Busch victory and first since Atlanta last October, leading 50 of the 147 laps in the Diamond Hill Plywood 200.

It was his second win at Darlington.

"This is a great racetrack," Kenseth said in Victory Lane. "It's one of the most fun racetracks we ever come to." More
