DARLINGTON, S.C. -- After car troubles plagued several top drivers, Erik Jones added to the stories history of the No. 43 car. Jones took over first place on a restart with 20 laps to go and stayed in front the rest of the way to earn a win at Darlington Raceway on Sunday night, his first win of the season and stealing a victory from four playoff drivers who all lined up behind him in positions 2-5.

The win for Jones is his third career win, and the the 200th win for the No. 43 car in its storied NASCAR history, and its first since 2014, when driven by Aric Almirola.
