Butcher had led the first 12 of the planned 15 laps, with the new Ford Focus ST from the local Motorbase Performance team likely able to protect against Cammish.
Cammish drove the Honda driven by Team Dynamics to Butcher’s rear bumper before leaving, allowing BMW championship leader Colin Turkington to have a three-way match on the front more socially than frantically.
Butcher had an Array682 credit to Cammish when the protective car appeared, thanks to Matt Neal, Cammish Honda’s teammate, who hit the barriers outside the Gates of Hawthorns after a collision while looking to take 17 position away from Aiden Moffat.
The interlude set a three-lap sprint to the end, but the cars had restarted slightly before Cammish sank the inner Butcher into the druids, with smoke columns from the left front of the ford indicating the drama that had struck the Scot, who also fled on Saturday. See FP1 with a puncture.
This gave Cammish, carrying 54kg of success ballast on his Honda, his second win of the season over Turkington, who was lugging the full 60kg on his West Surrey Racing-run BMW.
While there’s pain for Motorbase over Butcher’s fate, there’s also joy when Ollie Jackson took her Focus without glasses to third place.
Jackson survived a brushstroke with Cammish off the grid, forcing him to rub the barrier, to settle early in the fourth forward of Jake Hill’s Honda MB Motorsport led by AmD and Tom Ingram’s Toyota, led by Speedworks Motorsport.
Ingram had just nipped inside Hill to grab fifth before the safety car, and the elderly Honda Civic plummeted down the order after the restart.
Jackson had Ingram, Tom Chilton (BTC Racing Honda) and Ash Sutton, who had hoisted his Laser Tools Racing Infiniti from 14th place on the grid, for the final race to the flag.
Jackson stood firm, helped Ingram have a Chilton in charge, and his duel added a kiss back and forth to Graham Hill Bend.
Sutton, who suffered a lack of grip in qualifying, showed the turn-about appearance of this medal in the race and had the race speed of the leading drivers just before the protective car as he clung to the looming war.
Senna Proctor took seventh place with his Excelr8 Motorsport Hyundai, while Tom Oliphant raised the BMW moment to eighth place after falling to 15 on the first lap when a clash with Josh Cook forced him to step on the turf in the Westfield race.
This incident forced Cook into the pits to clean the grass from his Honda BTC radiator, but not until he finished the fastest lap.
Stephen Jelley just lost to Oliphant on the board to the line in his BMW Team Parker Racing, while Hill finished the 10 most sensible.
