JASON 'Boxer Jack' Jackson won the National Banger World Final for the second time at Arena Essex on Sunday.

The former Arena Essex Track Champion was peerless on the day, passing Alfie Lee for the lead at half distance and never looking back.

The chaotic start accounted for a few, with some of the event favourites held up in a first corner smash - including Lee Clarke, who bounced off the wall and Dale Hughes who was sent spinning.

Former World Champion, Scott Cornish, was unable to convert his front row start into a win, battling gamely with Alfie Lee and Karl Douglas for the lead before Jackson gradually worked his way past each of them.

Although a number of cars turned around and looked menacing on the pit bend, it was only Mark Foster who converted the intent into a hit - bouncing West Country visitor Adam Hitchcock up the inner barrier. Jack Foster Jnr then followed up with another crash to Hitchcock into the pit gate.

Hitchcock was instrumental in the crash which brought the race to a premature close too, launched skywards by Scott Cornish just as Jackson was completing his final tour.

Hitchcock avoided rolling but, on landing, he was clipped by Ricky Korpiela, who went for a spectacular barrel roll across the finish line.

For Jackson this was an incredible seventh World Final success.

Prior to the World Final, two last chance races were held with Lewis Barber and Dale Hughes winning places on the World Final grid.

The thundering crash dished out to Jamie Barnard by Bill Crittenden was probably the biggest crash of the day.

Dean Goodearl came through for the win, the second year in succession he has managed such a feat.

The Destruction Derby saw Korpiela in the wars again, taking heavy damage from Lee as well as Cornish.

Nathan Roberts finished off lively West Country visitor Kenny Gabriel before turning his attentions to brothers - Alfie and Georgie Lee.

Despite three-wheeling around the pit bend, Georgie put up the most resistance until eventually succumbing, winning the best wrecker trophy as some recompense.

The Stock Cars were on the supporting bill with a double heat win for Dave Imber, before he was sent spinning in the final, allowing Alfie Jones to take the win.

The Stock Rod Essex Championship was won by Cark Shackleford, who held off a determined David Crouch.
