Geoff Bodine overcame mid-race handling problems and came back to win the Country Squire Homes 200 Busch Grand National stock car race at Darlington, S.C.
Bodine, who started from the pole in the 147-lap, 200-mile event at Darlington International Raceway, led the last nine laps in his Chevrolet Nova.
Harry Gant was second and Dale Jarrett third. Jarrett was driving with only about one hour of sleep after becoming a father late Friday night.
Bodine, who won $11,570, averaged 115.514 m.p.h. in winning his second Grand National event on the 1.366-mile Darlington oval. He previously won this race in 1982.
