Kyle Busch is known for an aggressive style and racing hard every lap. They say at Darlington all that will get you is a wrecked race car and some hurt feelings. For Busch, it means a dominating win and a champagne-soaked fire suit.

"This is pretty awesome. Darlington showed again tonight it's one of the hardest places. Always has been, always will be," Busch said in Victory Lane. "We're going to go through a lot of Mac tools trying to fix this thing, but that's ok. They gave me such a race car."

Behind Busch was Carl Edwards, who came back from being last on the practice chart on Thursday to be runner-up on Saturday night. Jeff Gordon finished 3rd at a track he's won at seven times, vaulting him to 10th in points, followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and David Ragan rounding out the top-5, his second this season.

The only thing that stood in Busch's way was Greg Biffle, who won the pole with a record time and had led 95 laps, who was leading when he felt a vibration. That vibration turned into something much bigger, a mechanical failure that left Biffle with a 43rd place finish.

"I give 110 percent as a driver all the time and you just want your equipment to last and be able to win these races," said Biffle. "You can deal with a flat tire or something like that, but when it's self-induced, it makes it even harder. It makes it so hard to swallow."

However, Busch's win didn't come easy. After the controversy of the past week after a late race incident with Earnhardt Jr. at Richmond, he spent the whole night struggling with brake issues, then recovered from a penalty that sent him to the rear of the field when his pit crew didn't tighten all the lug nuts on his car. He then pounded the wall with the right side of his car, making his right-rear tire protrude beyond the damaged sheet metal.

"I can't tell you how many times he tried to give the race away by slamming into the wall, his right side was destroyed," said third place finisher Jeff Gordon.

Despite the damage and faulty brakes, Busch still had the fastest car in the closing laps, as he won by over three seconds in a car that he claimed early in the race to be the "most pathetic" he'd ever driven.

Matt Kenseth earned a much needed 6th place finish after three consecutive finishes of 38th or worse, fighting through vibration issues similar to those that his teammate Biffle felt, a sensation that all five Roush drivers were reported to have felt, before getting just his 4th top-10 of the season.
