It hasn’t taken Lee Gill
long to back used to 358 Modified racing again at the BOS. He returned to Brockville last week for the
first time in nearly seven years in a Small Block Modified and finished
seventh, and came back this past Saturday night and improved on that to score a
fourth place finish.
In his qualifying heat, Gill
started from outside of the second row in the fourth position. He advanced to third before the end of the
eight lap race, and came back to the pit area to make some adjustments on his
2012 Troyer. In the 30 lap feature,
Gill started from 10th place, but lost a little ground early,
falling back to 12th before they completed lap 10. After making a great move on a lap 14
restart, Gill vaulted from tenth to seventh, and continued to climb the
leaderboard over the next few laps, breaking the top five just four laps later. Gill would advance one more position, and
ended the night with a solid fourth place run.
“The car was pretty good, we
are working hard to get it dialed in.
The track has changed a fair bit since we last raced here in this
division regularly, so we are working hard to get the set up figured out and
get to where we need to be”, says Gill, referring to his domination at
Brockville from 2000 to 2004 when he won many races, and claimed the
championship in four consecutive seasons.
Gill will be back in action
at Brockville once again this Saturday night, looking to capture his first wins
of the 2012 season. After two races
this season at the BOS, Gill currently is tied for fourth in overall track
points, just 27 points out of the lead.
In addition to a full season
at Brockville Speedway, Gill also plans to run some DIRTcar 358 Modified Series
races, and possibly the 358 Modified pavement series events held this summer at
Airborne Park Raceway and Dunn Tire Speedway.
A full schedule will be released on the team’s website when it comes
available.
