Honda UK Racing rider Steve Brogan extended his lead at the top the Metzeler National Superstock 1000 championship with a dominant win at Snetterton this afternoon.
After qualifying on pole, Brogan's chance of a race win was challenged early on by Raceways Yamaha man John Kirkham, who took to the front of the field at the first corner. Kirkham held his position for three laps, as the usual suspects of Marshall Neill, Alastair Seeley, Adrian Coates and Jimmy Storrar took up formation three seconds further down the road from Brogan, who by now was hanging on the coat tails of the race leader.
'Baywatch' took his chance at The Esses and never looked back. Despite hitting heavy traffic on lap 13, Brogan held off the advances of Kirkham to register his fourth win of the season.
Not for the first time this season, the real action could be found in the race for third. Neill, Seeley and Coates all had their chance to make a mark, but it was Seeley who took the initiative on lap 11, although his advantage over fourth-placed Coates and fifth-placed Neill was never a comfortable one.
