Pirelli National Superstock with Santander Consumer Finance: Neave wins, McConnell penalised for Talbot clash

28 August 2023

Tim Neave powered to his first win of the season at Cadwell Park after a dramatic race for some of the title challengers.

Neave hit the front at the start but behind, Ash Beech crashed and Richard Kerr was forced off track, rejoining way down the pack as Billy McConnell moved into second before being passed by Joe Talbot.

A move on Talbot from McConnell on lap 10 sent Talbot flying into the gravel and McConnell was handed a 10 second penalty. By now he was at the front and crossed the line first but the win went to Neave who was sitting in second place.

Points leader Dan Linfoot was second with Alastair Seeley third as McConnell was classified fourth with Lewis Rollo fifth.
