Its another 'Win'row after epic Tovey dice

02/09/12 - Marangoni Tyres Production BMW Championship Race 1 - Ben Winrow extended his championship lead after coming through an epic dice with reigning champion Mike Tovey at Cadwell Park.

Tovey started from pole after edging Winrow by nine thousandths of a second in qualifying and he made the most of the advantage to lead into Coppice. Winrow bogged down at the start which allowed Liam Crilly through and Matthew Parkes to pull alongside. With four abreast going into Coppice, contact was inevertible and Parkes was spun into the barriers, but the 20 plus car field made it through unscathed.  

Winrow soon found his way past Crilly which in turn gave Harry Goodman the space to grab third from Crilly. By lap three Winrow managed to slip past Tovey for the lead and he began to open up a slight gap. Tovey remained in his mirrors and a mistake from Winrow at the Gooseneck saw the Bristol man storm into the lead on the penultimate lap. 

As the top two entered the last lap Winrow pulled alongside Tovey and managed to slide into the lead with an incredible move around the outside at Coppice. Tovey was unable to respond and it was Winrow who took the chequered flag. Crilly came home in third ahead of Goodman, Charles Plumley and Simon Glenn.
