Italy’s Roberto Panichi drafted America’s Brian Parriott to take a very close win on aggregate time in the re-started BMW BoxerCup race at Daytona.
The margin of victory was officially 0.052-second on combined times; slow-motion video replays of Panichi and Parriott crossing the finish line showed Parriott marginally ahead on the track.
Five riders raced for the lead in the five-lap re-start.
While the BMW Boxer Cup riders were completing their cool-down lap, rain began to fall at Daytona.
