When Lee Gill decided to
return to Modified competition at Brockville Speedway after several years
racing in the Late Model division at other tracks, the vast majority of people
that had known Gill as a four time Brockville champion knew it wouldn’t take
long for him to return to form. The
track may be slightly different, the cars maybe a little different but the
competitive spirit and the will to win remain the same for the talented
Lafargeville, New York racer.
Gill returned to Brockville
once again on Saturday night looking for his fifth straight top five
finish. After placing fourth in his
qualifying heat, Gill reported to the pit area for some adjustment to his 2012
Troyer before going back out for the 30 lap feature, where he would start
ninth. With the race half over, the
first and only caution slowed the pace, and Gill was now up to sixth
place. Over the final few laps, Gill
climbed to fourth.
“Everything is going really
well for us here so far this season at Brockville”, says Gill after the
race. “We have had some really good
runs, and hopefully we can get back to victory lane soon”.
Despite missing a race a
couple weeks ago with mechanical issues, Gill has finished all but one race
inside the top five, and has climbed back into a BOS Five Star position sitting
fifth in track points, and only 40 points out of the lead. With still more then two months remaining
before the points end, Gill will have ample opportunity to trim that deficit.
This coming Saturday night,
Gill will return to Brockville Speedway looking to extend his top five streak,
and try and find his way back to Brockville’s victory lane for the first time
since the 2003 season.
