Ted Musgrave took the high side to pass Robert Pressley with 12 laps remaining to win the Craftsman Anniversary 200 at Darlington Raceway. Starting second in the No. 1 Mopar Dodge, Musgrave holds off Pressley to win his first race of the season and his eighth in 29 career starts. Following Musgrave and Pressley, Mike Bliss passed Kevin Harvick in the No. 16 IWX Motor Freight Chevrolet finishing in the third position. Musgrave and Pressley, both Cup Series veterans, battled through the caution-filled event which continues Dodge's dominance in the NCTS. Musgrave and Pressley are now tied for the lead in points. Musgrave led five times for 97 laps and in addition to picking up the race trophy, Musgrave also earned a $7,500 bonus from Sears for leading on lap 75 in celebration of the 75th anniversary of Craftsman tools. Pressley, who won the season opener at Daytona, looked like the man to beat until Musgrave chased him down. Pressley led once for only 32 laps. There were nine lead changes among five drivers and a matching number of cautions for 31 laps. The margin of victory was .481 seconds with an average speed of 109 mph.
