Carl Edwards passed Brad Keselowski with just a few laps remaining and held on to win the Bojangles Southern 500 in Darlington, South Carolina on Sunday night. The victory was Edwards’ second checkered flag of 2015; he won the Coca Cola 600 in May.

With just 12 laps left in the grueling 500-mile NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event, Edwards zipped by Keselowski coming off pit road and held on for his first Southern 500 victory. Sunday night’s race was marred by a track-record 18 cautions and didn’t end until just before midnight Eastern time.

Keselowski finished second, with Denny Hamlin in third. Joey Logano placed fourth. Kevin Harvick finished fifth.
