Rockingham, N.C. ? Jamie McMurray led all but five of 197 laps Monday to run away with the rain-delayed Busch Series race at North Carolina Speedway.

McMurray started second in the Rockingham 200, passed pole-sitter David Green on the backstretch of the first lap, and steadily pulled away from the field to beat him to the finish line by almost 20 car lengths.

“I feel very blessed to get in a car that is that good, because you have to have a great car to have a performance like that,” McMurray said. “It’s unreal to have a car that good.”

McMurray’s Dodge lost the top spot just once, when fellow Winston Cup driver Michael Waltrip passed him on the track on lap 164. But caution came out seconds later, all the leaders stopped for tires, and McMurray beat Waltrip out of the pits.

Kerry Earnhardt did not pit and took over the lead, but McMurray sailed by him after the restart and was never challenged.

Todd Bodine finished third after a door-to-door battle with Green over the final lap in the only real race to the finish.

It was the second consecutive Busch win at Rockingham for McMurray. His dominating run in the Busch race, which was rained out Saturday, followed his fifth-place finish in Sunday’s Winston Cup race.
