FINNIKIN KEEPS UP THE WINNING MOMENTUM AT MILDENHALL

Craig Finnikin picked up his second Mildenhall final victory of the year at on Saturday and continued his winning streak after his triumph at King’s Lynn last Saturday. Like he did last week he won both heat and final.

Dutchman Nigel de Kock led the opening laps but he was soon overhauled by Kyle Gray. The race was halted when Danny Wainman tipped his machine over in Turn 2.

Gray continued to lead after the restart, but Finnikin muscled his way into a race-winning lead at the halfway point. Mat Newson closed in on Finnikin in the closing stages but was unable to get close enough to challenge for the lead. Newson faded in the final laps but held off Gray for second.

Finnikin said after “It never easy round here, it’s a proper stockcar track, small, plenty of cars and plenty of action and you have to know how to drive it. When I got into the lead then it was a case of watching the traffic and staying out of trouble”
