Dave Blaney wins Busch race at Lowe's Speedway amid wild events

Dave Blaney wound up the winner Friday night at Lowe's Motor Speedway in a NASCAR Busch Series finish that included red flag stoppages for a scoring glitch and a crash by Carl Edwards and Casey Mears, while battling for the win.

Edwards, going for a season sweep of the Busch races at the suburban Charlotte track, led 123 of the 203 laps that included a final two-lap overtime sprint in which Blaney fought off Matt Kenseth _ who wrecked on the last lap _ to grab his first series win in 93 starts since 1998.

The crash by Edwards relegated him to a 27th-place finish and gave Kevin Harvick, who came back from an early tire problem and a lost lap to finish ninth, his second Busch championship with four races remaining.
